Sad, but I wouldn't trust any software that AOL were involved in, their own browser is a nightmare

Not really unexpected, and precisely because of the reasons listed (mostly IE's bundling into Windows).

I wouldn't really be surprised if the Apple OS follows suit in a decade or so, now that Macs can run Windows...

AOL...  Roll Eyes

Don't forget, ASJ, that the IBM-compatible can run a Mac OS, now.

Leopard, I believe.

This is true, but it's not being advertised the way the reverse is.

IMHO, Apple is making a big mistake by not shouting it from the rooftops.

I suspect it'll be OS/2 all over again...

I'm looking for a copy, as it 'appens.

If I get one and install it, I'll report back.

Navigator was a better browser than IE but became unreliable when AOL took it over...

Yup.  I started with Netscape, but gave it up when I switched over to Win98.

In the mid-1990s the browser was used by more than 90% of the web population, but numbers have slipped to just 0.6%.

It had its day....
