Not bad. Very simple interface from what I remember to the old one I had used long ago.

I'm a big fanboy of anything not IE. I've been using Firefox 1.0PR for three days now - the only thing I miss versus Mozilla is the quickstart feature. Otherwise, Firefox and Thunderbird are my new browser/mail proggie.

The only thing I enjoy about IE is its toolbar & the ability/support from many apps to be automatically added to it.

Im using it under my RedHat - looks nicer than .9 did for RH but im not noticing much of an upgrade.

When i get my Windows PC working again il compare 1.0 to 0.8

in women's breasts.

This is considered a major breakthrough since women complain about men
staring at their breasts and not listening to them.

Security, integraded popup blocker (even MyIE2 uses a plugin). Tabbed browsing so you've only got one window open (if you want it that way), RSS support, nicely customizable.

But security would be #1 for me - any time I'm setting up a system for a friend/family member I install Mozilla or Firefox. I've never had to return to fix any problems. If they need a page loaded in IE (for those moron programmers that use IE specific scripting), you can have firefox open that page with IE and then return to firefox when their done.

Are you saying I can't read - are you saying I'm missing Firewiz's point - are you saying I'm a wee bit lost on his point -- :blink: :blink: :D :blink: :blink:

Okay -- I missed his point entirely - I'm a hoser :D One hellufa nice hoser, but a hoser none the less. :D
