Um....it's the other way around according to geek friends of mine around the internet.  Netscape is based off Mozilla.  And both take too much time to open up, and both have slow code.

I do, and I will always prefer Microsoft Internet Explorer.  I have had absolutely no problems with it.  I have never seen any website NOT get rendered properly using IE, like I have with Netscape and Mozilla.  I hate Mozilla.  It's just too slow, and doesn't render every web page perfectly.  Even the ones that have out of date code like this page.

IE is superior.  I don't need "tabbed browsing".  I am very fast and efficient at web browsing.

I used Mozilla.  I found it to be far inferior to IE.  It was slow, it rendered a few pages incorrectly which I regularly visit, and it takes too long to open up.  If Mozilla were just as fast as IE when it opens, and if it rendered even the "incorrectly coded" pages correctly AS INTERNET EXPLORER DOES, then I'd find Mozilla to be far superior.

But for now, I'll stick with IE.

It's kind of ironic.  Back in 1997 or so when I made the switch from Macintosh to IBM (any Windows machine), I used to think Netscape was the best out there.  Then I tried Internet Explorer.  The first thing I noticed was that it ran faster.  It took about 1/16th the time to open up, and it was just cleaner.  I used to scoff and laugh at people who used IE, but now I myself find that IE is superior and now I know why people prefer IE over Mozilla, of any kind.

Oh, and if you want to see proof that Netscape is based off Mozilla, just look in your registry, or surf around inside the program itself.  You'll see a few mentions of "Mozilla", even though you do not have Mozilla on your machine, although you do if you have Netscape. 

I never said there was anything "Wrong" with Mozilla, I'm just stating that as a network manager, I've seen issues with that and Netscape on my network, whereas, IE has given us far fewer issues. Granted, M$ has it's problems, they all do. But, based on my too many years in networking, IE simply works better than the others. Hence, the reason that thus far the world uses IE.

Tim is correct, in my humble opinon, as stated above.

JAVA!!! coffee?

Ahhh...I hate Java !! Glad I just manage a network, not write the software the runs on it.

Stub, you're right in that it's a choice. At this time, I just prefer IE.

HOWEVER !!!....I would NEVER choose Tama over Pearl !! (Huh Joey !!)
