The problem is, that a _lot_ of people use Walla and will not switch. They don't seem to understand that they _can_ switch. And I they already have enough to deal with when switching from XP to Ubuntu. Websites that don't work, and must be abandoned, is hard for them to grasp. Yes, Walla has prevented people (at least two that I have helped) from switching to Ubuntu. And probably hundreds of others from switching to Firefox.

Just got around to test his - all IE's installed through IEs4Linux do NOT allow typing Hebrew in walla. IE5.5 doesn't even render the "New Message" page correctly, thus not allowing to type in anything in the message content.
