Browser usage -Reply

[Vladislav S. Davidzon]

Desktop integration caused TONS of problems on my Windows NT4.0 Server
machine... Also, the BETA of IE4 had problems uninstalling, however I have
not seen any problems with the final version as far as uninstalling,
although I've had to uninstall it a few times.
