How come Mozilla Dosen't come with Java Plugins.

I thought Sun would be OK with something like that.

IE runs Active X, unlike Mozilla.  Active X is M$'s propriatary software.  It might be illegal to make it run on anything other than IE.  Active X is dangerous, it can contain viruses that would have a hayday with your PC.  Applets, which run like Active X but on any browser, do not have the same security problems.

Microsoft doesn't need to worry about anyone stealing ActiveX technology. No one is that dumb.

The windows version of mozilla does come with Sun's Java plugin.

I guess the linux one doesn't in order to giv the user a choice between Sun and Blackdown.

IE for mac doesn't crash, just shows a text box like any other browser.  Didn't bother to test it on WIndows

True. Only Windows versions of IE crash, from version 4.0 to 6.0. Don't have to worry though. M$ will fix this bug eventually in let's say another 7 years from now.   :D
