Parts? of explorer? IE is explorer. The difference in windows between when your exploring your HD and exploring the WWW are the menus that are displayed. Go ahead, run explorer, not IE, look at your HD a minute, then type in a webpage address in the bar, it'll take you wherever you want to go. As for memory, currently, I have open 4 windows in Netscape6 and it is taking up 34,884k. I have one window or explorer open and it uses 16,484k and one window of IE explorer open and it uses 13,248k. Now, this is just after opening the windows before any of the memory is swapped to disk. Not that I'm really worried about memory as I have 160 megs of ram. As for the time it takes to load, Mozilla 0.9.9 loads in about the same amount of time on my machine with or without the quick launce option on and as for Netscape 6.2.1, the quick launch keeps getting taken out of memory by Windows. I've tested them all as well, and it seems to me that IE has finally caught up to the stbility and usabilty of Netscape/Mozilla.
