Definitely. I use NT more than anything, and IE is a pleasure next to
Netscape. I have played with Mozilla, but as many say, it is slower
than Netscape, which is turn is slower than IE. Too bad. I want to
start playing with my DV camera through a firewire port, which isn't
supported under NT. So I could use a POS like Win98 just for that, or
either install Win2k or Linux, which has a kernel patch from
<http://linux1394.sourceforge.net/> which I am hopeful to use. If all
works out with Linux, one thing I will REALLY miss IE. The search bar
was an awesome idea, though AltaVista has completely screwed theirs up
since they "upgraded" it. I see that Netscape 6 has a side bar. I
hope that I can use AltaVista in there.

What I said above. :)

Nice. The big two are free, and some smaller one you have to pay for
unless you want ads. Great marketing, guys.
