I use & support Microsoft software in many office desktop situations and it does a quite acceptable job, however it seems it takes some time before sufficient "features" have been debugged for an application to be reliable. MSIE4 is OK now, but remember its been around over a year. The present MSIE5 has only been out a few months, consequently its still quite buggy. I've used it in Win98 / Win2000 (don't have any choice there) since its been available and its still not what I'd call usable. Even if you managed to get Microsoft to port it to FreeBSD it would be the MSIE5 version, and apart from the probability that most BSD folk would refuse to install it, why would anyone want more Microsoft "new improved features" ?? -----Original Message----- From: Bill A.
