Fast, slick, small footprint, not as pretty as modern browsers, but aren't you supposed to be looking at the 'page content' not marvelling at the design of the browser? That's like seeing the Mona Lisa and commenting 'nice frame'! I had many customers who deliberately ignored IE in favour of installing the older NN3 because it was stable quick and it DIDN'T run every bit of malicious code under the sun for a change. > Probably the main reason is that IE 6 is currently *the* mainstream browser - > whatever you think, it is. Just how mainstream would IE be if consumers had a real choice, by which I mean a PC supplied without a browser installed but there were Firefox and IE CDs available at the checkout? Methinks less than it is. IE is only mainstream because it's preloaded on all Windows PCs. BTW, mainstream: Definition found 5 seconds after entering the search into Google (and that's only because it was bottom of the list) Mainstream is, generally, the common current of thought. It is a term most often applied in the arts (i.e., music, literature, and performance). This includes: * something that is not out of the ordinary or unusual;* something that is familiar to the masses;* something that belongs to an identifiable genre, such as detective fiction, horror, fantasy, or science fiction.
