Correct.

Not true.  IE6 is general release now, not beta.  Font handling is
absolutely fine, I have never encountered problems before with HTML or
CSS.  No problems with other websites either.

:: hmm, so its more like a system thing then ...

Oh it's definitely a browser thing (IE6).  But I don't think that's the
issue.  The problem, whether you like it or not, is that IE has >50%
market share according to BrowserWatch
(http://browserwatch.internet.com/stats/stats.html).  On my own
web-servers IE (v4+) accounts for 82.6% of all traffic and I know many
webmasters who will offer similar reports.  Now while I agree that we
should make our site 100% standards compliant, I'm concerned by these
figures.

Windows 2000 is not all that skinnable in itself no.  But with the
addition of the amazing software produced by Stardock
(http://www.stardock.com/) I can transform the desktop completely along
with about 95% of my installed applications.  So my Windows 2000
environment has been customised to resemble Apple's OS X.  However, I
did without that stupid dock and deployed a much more usable,
configurable and less distracting one.  For those of you who have
interest in these things, I've put a screenshot on the web at:
