I didn't pay :D. My dad did :D. I would have the non-pro version (not sure what it's limitations are) if I couldn't get it for free.
Anyway, what is this "tabbed browsing" you speak of? If it's what it sounds like, it's some method of surfing multiple pages via a tab interface. Is this correct? Aside from this mysterious thing, you haven't really listed a thing that makes Netscape more attractive than what I got, and I strive to avoid downloading software I don't need (except games of course). I already have two good html editors (visual studio .net and wordpad :D), which I can run seperatly. I also have AIM and several other messaging services that also, I can run seperatly. I FAR prefer it when various different program components can be run on their own than when they MUST have some other thing running.
Ignoring these built in software bits (which as I said are both redundant and less usable than what I have), please tell me all the features Netscape has that IE does not (I already know about the popupstopper, no need to include that one). If you make a good case, I think I'll switch. I only pick IE at the moment because it was already there and I'd be wasting space to install what I think is pretty much exactly the same thing functionally when I can't remove IE. Oh, look means nothing to me, so don't say anything regarding that.
You know though, if I'm going to look into Netscape, I'll have to check out Opera too.
One thing, how do these companies make money at ALL?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
