Hi,
Here's a copy of the message that I send to Microsoft under product
suggestions:
------Begin copy------
Hello,
I am a user of a BSD UNIX operating system called FreeBSD.
(Information on FreeBSD is available at www.freebsd.org)
I and some other of my fellow FreeBSD users would like to see a =
version
of Microsoft Internet Explorer (4.0 or greater) for our OS.
A thing to note is that FreeBSD has support to execute Linux =
binaries.
Currently, the only decent modern browser for our system is Netscape
Communicator which to some of us is a second choice for a browser even =
when
we are running Windows.
Unlike some UNIX system users, I respect Microsoft and I am very much
impressed to see that IE had been ported to UNIX (A competing platform) in
the first place.
I would appreciate some feedback on my request.
Thanks
Bill
