OK, that is possible. I was comparing Opera with IE; unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to check Mozilla.

It is a separate window, with a separate interface. You might prefer a separate program, but I don't see any real problem with the integration of several programs. Just as I don't see any problem with Outlook Express managing both E-Mail and NNTP discussions.
