Damn marketing goons.

Your right, it is marketing. But very few people would know what the K in konqueror stands for, or why the used a k in the first place. This is also like asking why didn't Mozilla just call itself Netscape. I mean its the same thing isn't it?
Faust:
yeah point but i just cant resist this:
who the fuck knows what the z in "limb biZkit" stands for? or the k in "linKin park?" man putting weird letters in names to make them sound cooler is a fact of life nowadays!
and isnt KDE the K desktop environment?
so in that case doesnt K stand for K?

But you have to remember that the people that listen to that music and who use the computer for anything other than AIM are extremely limited and probably use a Dell runnning Windows and don't know what the words Dell on the side of their computer are for.

Okay, disregard this whole topic, I like Safari now.

my girlfriend uses konqueror ocassionally, but i prefer phoenix and mozilla to be honest. i will probably try out konqueror 3.1 sometime soon - i know my girlfriend is still using konqueror 3.0 because she still boots into red hat 8 even though i now have slack 9 too.
i wonder when we will see a linux version of safari since apple are such generous chappies and have released all their source code et cetera.

Figures. Konqueror 3.1 is a _really_ good imporvement--it's more like 4.1 than 3.1! In fact, it even renders some pages Mozilla can't, is faster, and has all the features you were whining about in your first post. Oh, and it supports colored scrolling bars, which is totally cool.
