You forgot to mention the bugs in IE3. Did you know that you can write
an ActiveX script that will cause any computer reading the page to
shutdown?
And then there's the way it forgets to re-post data forms when you press
reload.
Plus I can run identical copies of netscape under Win95 or Linux and
avoid MS products completely, win95 is too unstable.
