Pentium 233Mhz - all of them equipped with 64-96MB RAM, and Mozilla is WAY slower then Explorer - I could give you lots of examples. FUD again..!

You mean starting up mozilla right? Then your right, cause internet explorer is allways running! So it dosent take long time to open another browser window since its allready in memory... IE is so heavily integreated into the OS, so its allways running.....



But on Mac OS X (10.2.6) IE is still many many times faster at loading.  Moz usually clutters up the whole system when starting up.  Moz is a nicer browser than IE or Safari, that's the only reason I use it.  Oh yeah and tabbed browsing.

As for the whole debate on porting, I'm all for only porting the parts we actually need like a rendering engine.  I'm always dismayed when people go on and on about poting this system or this toolkit from *nix over to amigaOS.  AmigaOS (and MorphOS) are special in that they are the most logical, intuitive  and effecient systems available.  For me tacking on everything from the world of *nix would ruin the Amiga.
