Well you better learn them-- Netscape's the one playing catch-up now.  Some
of the MSIE features from 3.0 are being brought to Netscape 4.0 (Including
ActiveX).

As far as features go, Both are pretty much the same, except MSIE is about
1 1/2 times faster displaying pages than Netscape.  MSIE supports
everything Netscape does plus more.  (It's also much better integrated
w/WIN95).  Java applets also start 30% faster under MSIE3.

This is not true.  Lately, more and more web sites are displaying Internet
Explorer logos, and less "Netscape Now!" logo's.

IE's market share is up to 20% and still growing.

If MSIE isn't halfway decent, what does this make Netscape?  Almost every
magazine rates MSIE3 higher than Netscape.

MSIE is also adding features faster than NEtscape.  AS far as Netscapes
interface goes, it hasn't changed a bit since 1.2 or earlier. (At least
until 4.0 finally came out).   

It's just a matter of personal preference -- nothing worth arguing about,
Download both and keep the one you like.
