on my end it actually worked smoother and faster on Firefox. As for Opera?
That's a negative.
As much as I'd hate to admit it. I think it sucks the way it looks and
feels at the moment. 'and yet MS made it sound like the 'second coming'.

Either way, we're dealing with two big babies trying to outdo each other

I guess it would be the third or fourth coming, really, because this isn't
a new idea of theirs. They hyped this same concept a few years ago but it
never took off.

They will make Vista seem pretty much like the 'second coming' too:

Roy, I've never been an anti-google protagonist. I simply always wanted to
give MSN their due chance. But yes, it's all bullshit.

Microsoft says it expects more than 400 million PCs to be running Vista
within 24 months of the launch. Block said the goal is to reach a rate
within that time where more than half of the machines are running some
premium version of the OS.

uhuh, reminds me of XBox 360. Something which never met their claimed
expected goals. 'least not within the time within which they stated.
Their balls continue to hang and sway with many claims, yet they never
quite match the'....'well, they never quite hold steady.
I hate MS for this. Huge balls indeed. 'but it's all a competition of
wills. Aye?
BTW, funny your choice of words. 'Protagonist' was the very word that came
to mind before i'd even seen your post. 'well that and "Fear Mongering",
Yes I Jest!
PS, will this be on your RSS file(s)? I just checked and call me slow, I
just don't get it yet. :-(
Shouldn't your post be showing up there right now? I do see the "Microsoft
is taking Aim" thread.
Please do educate me.
'and thanks again Roy! :-)

It works in Firefox ... I don't have Opera open but ... why wouldn't it?
Looks like somebody's playing catchup with some other popular portals. I
like it for a Windows site.
