A: Glad you asked. We invite anyone with questions about our ability to make up for lost time to consider our track record in delivering a superior Mac version of Internet Explorer. It has come from behind and now offers a much better browser than Netscape Navigator or any other Mac browser. Internet Explorer for Macintosh is not only superior in feature set, but offers better performance while requiring significantly less memory compared to Navigator. On the Windows 3.1 platform, we deliver the only browser that supports a final production version of the Java Virtual Machine. The reason for our delay on UNIX is so that we can deliver a similarly great 4.0 product for our UNIX customers. The question now seems to be: Which political office is Microsoft's publicist going for in the 2000 election? Cheers!
