Well, I think that about 70% of the programming world uses some  
form of Windoze programming environment, so why shouldn't everyone  
use it? I hate it when people write libraries that will only work  
under unix. I try to use it under Windoze and the compiler just  
gags. Everyone should only write code that I can use under Windoze  
because that's what most everyone uses.

Exactly, switch to Windoze programming now. You can't expect to win  
if you use any other environment.

How about the cool bookmarks window? Drag and drop URLs and  
bookmarks with excellent organization make this way better than  
Netscape...What's more important? Having some background appear or  
being able to easily navigate the Web?

What was that? No, I don't have anything to add to the list about  
background and wraparound text tags...
