Well, yeah, I must say IE is reasonably stable, and besides _at_last_ Microsoft decided to go with the standards (DOM, CSS) instead of making their own.
And making the render engine a component has been DEFINITELY the way to go (Gecko learned from this). Then you can have any of those lightweight / bloated / tabbed / spywared / improved / wicked browsers that use IE as their core. Still, I'm liking more Phoenix (Gecko-based) right now.
And then againt, it's still 2-3 reboots for a 3 hour session on WinXP vs none on Mandrake 8, for 8-10 hours of work. Now, aint that evil, or what? |
