Whoever is king will be the target of the most malware writers......
As soon as anyone else passes up Microsoft they will find themselves the target of the malware writers.

No crashes or hanging up or any problems at all.
Beta IS beta...I would expect bugs in anything beta.

Well yeah, your right. But no other browser will ever pass IE simply because it will always come with Windows, and most people are lazy.

If windows came with more than one browser out of the box, then I might stop crying like a skinned-knee school girl.... sign13
