   Review - Netscape Navigator for Windows

   6.0 Final (Nov 14, 2000)

   *guffaws* "Final"? More like beta 1.

2. Comment - Trillian Fights Back as AOL Boots its Users

   Trillian *is* that good. In case you hadn't noticed, Trillian supports not only AIM, but MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, and even IRC. And many users of those have also converted to trillian.

   Ok, now here you're just not making cents. Trillian is not open source. And your differentiating between "legal" and "illegal" means is preposterous. Trillian has *no* service of its own. It is merely a *client*. And how would they go about "legally"? I chose Trillian because it would perform the functions of several other IM apps I used. I've got MSN, ICQ, Yahoo accounts, as well as AIM. Those are valid accounts. If I have a username:password to a system, I'm usually validated. FTP sites don't care what client you use, POP3 server don't either. Why has AOL, in a number of cases, put work into breaking *certain* clients?
   
   I'm too tired for the history lesson, maybe next time.

3. Comment - Trillian Fights Back as AOL Boots its Users

   It's not about about advertising $$$. It sure as heck isn't about "security". What it *is* about is ensuring the integrity of the AOL brand. We saw it when msnm first came out. For the first time, AOL was threatened with a "real" alternative to AIM, superior in the sense that you could quit using "AOL" software and still chat with your AOL friends. It's childish paranoia, but AOL knows that if they allow people the choice of not using *their* software, people will realize they don't *have* to, and probably choose something else.

4. Comment - Windows XP Reaches RC2

   M$ has been stretching the time between RTM and retail release. Win98 was about 2 months. Office XP was a tad longer, and WinXP will be nearly 3 months, assuming RTM within a week like Office. Blech...they're not even bothering to pretend they debug the stuff anymore. I'm gonna wait around for the *real* RTM...when the Server flavors go gold.

5. Comment - Windows 'Longhorn' To Succeed XP?

   6.0 Final (Jul 26, 2001 - 8:40 PM)

   The beta 3 versions of the clients are being released as retail products, but the development of XP/2002 goes on. I was already expecting another client release when the servers go gold, and I have a feeling this is exactly what "Longhorn" is.

6. Comment - IE6 Stand Alone Issues

   6.0 Final (Mar 2, 2001 - 4:22 AM)

   Ummm, if IE6 on Millennium is any indication, you're dead wrong CPU. The shiny happy toolbar looks to be Whistler only.
