What the f**k are you talking about? I have Netscape 6.2.2 installed and IE, and NS loads faster and renders faster. NS also has full support for CSS now. And who the hell cares if IE enhances XP? This is done standard... the only reason why I upgrade IE is for the many security holes.

Ctrl Alt Del 123:
You have a choice if you want to use another browser. You aren't stuck with IE. Don't like IE? Download another browser and use it and let that be your default browser. IE does not limit your freedom, if you think it does, you must think that Taco Bell limits your freedom to McDonalds. Don't like it? Get an alternative.

As for the firewall in XP, that will never put any other firewalls out of business. It's half a real firewall and actually DOES let you configure it. You can select what ports are allowed and other settings on the advanced tab. Zone Alarm will always better than ICF. ICF is for NORMAL HOME USERS who don't know shit about computers and would like some BASIC security.

As for which is better browser, IE is a basic browser. Which ever the best browser is the best depends on your tastes. Which is better? Pepsi or Coke? It mostly depends on your tastes. I myself have a new found love for Mozilla.

As for Nutscrape, I will always hate them. I've always had bad experiences with them. If you like Netscape, by all means YOU use it, but I preffer IE over it. Mozilla is getting up there.

Master of Reality:
I think their next firewall will use their whole-ass, but will still be crappy, and they will "trick" the users into thinking that is a full firewall like ZA.
hmmmmm... i guess next they will add their own anti-virus and try to put Nortn/McAfee outta business?
(as for browsers i prefer Mozilla)

voidmain:
They did have their own virus product for a while back in the early days (I don't recall the name, I believe it was MSVIRUS or MSSCAN). I remember it around the time of Windows 3.0 or just before.  But since it took effort to keep up with all the new viruses coming out, and M$ being lazy and found much easier gravy trains to ride, they left the shit detail to the other Virus vendors. You might say their job is to wipe Microsoft's ass.

mormop:
Microsoft firewall -> Dracula in charge of security at bloodbank.

Smoothwall and IP Cop are OK but I run Mandrake SNF 'cos I like the fact you can just load Mandrake RPMS  on for extra stuff.
