> Yeah I agree with MS having 'thee' browser & a lot of others do to. I just wish they would hurry up & get it over with so I only have to keep 1 browser on my PC! Right now I have (and need) 2 Brow > ers. It's really hard to say. I personally like Netscape (although 3.0 kinda ticks me off sometimes). However, since MS likes to package all of it's software to work together, they are tough to beat when you only have one product. Take MS SQL server, for example. Is it the best backend DB out there? Certainly not, but it is cheap and has a whole suite of backend servers that attach to it (Back Office). It will most likely dominate the market. Then, look at all of the automation with Office and MS's development tools. Next, they are integrating thier OS's with internet stuff (the new explorer that will show files, drives, AND web sites). What really scares me is, what happens when MS falls? > I think you & Arnon are right. ActiveX will be the end result & Java/J++ will be the vehicle to get us there (along with VFP (S)). Maybe. Java annoys me because it takes too long to download. ActiveX controls annoy me because I have to keep downloading the things (and I may only use them once!). It's like Netscape plug ins. The only one you really ever see is the Real Audio plug in, and even then not that much. I want infomation and/or entertainment fast, I don't want to keep downloading and installing junk all of the time. This lack of standardization could destroy the web. All of this ranting is, of course, IMHO. (s) Scot.
