Microsoft still has some (non-voting) stock, I think. They have Mac versions of Office etc., but I avoid all that.

Window is an unstable platform, I'll grant you that.

But man compare to all the "home-use" word processer in the market, Office clearly comes out at the top of its' league.

Not to mention how much better IE is compare to Netscape.

I use pico and BBEdit for word processing.

IE is not better than Netscape. :P

Netscape Communicator :
  1. Slow rendering of webpages
  2. Advanced features are easily accessible
  3. Proper rendering of webpages
Internet Explorer :
  1. Fast rendering of webpages
  2. Advanced features are well hidden
  3. Improper/screwed rendering of webpages

So, as you can see, Netscape Communicator is for the user who:
  1. Prefers to wait a little while for a properly displayed webpage
  2. Uses advanced options frequently
And, Internet Explorer is for the user who:
  1. Will sacrifice looks, in the interests of very speedy loading
  2. Does not use advanced options, and prefers simplicity

I don't really see what all the fuss is about, as long as you can freely use whatever browser you want. IE's for the morons, Netscape's for the geeks -- let it be as simple as that. *L* :-P

Typical male behaviour might I say. Something better comes along, and your dump your previous love.

Either that, or you stick with her no matter how crap she is.
