Final Release version of Microsoft Internet Explorer

[Wilfred Drew]

Thought this message of importance to all of us.  I am seriously looking at
switching my default browser to IE4.  I am now testing the IMAP function for
e-mail using Outlook, the e-mail side of Internet Explorer.  It is a great
program.

>It's the moment we've all been waiting for, the final salvo in the
>fourth-generation browser war. Microsoft has just released Internet
>Explorer 4.0, which you'll find at BROWSERS.COM:

http://www.browsers.com/?brw.pba1
>
>IE 4.0 integrates seamlessly with your Windows 95 desktop, uniting the
>operating system and the Internet in one indivisible alliance. The
>browser's latest collection of tools includes the full-featured email
>client Microsoft Outlook, as well as conferencing, broadcasting, and
>Web-authoring capabilities. IE 4.0 gives you the ability to view sites
>offline to save time and money, and it even notifies you automatically
>whenever your favorite Web sites are updated.
>
>Here's the nitty-gritty for you techies out there: IE 4.0 recognizes
>"scriptlets," which are chunks of reusable information that Microsoft is
>hoping will make Web surfing faster and more flexible. This release also
>supports XML (Extensible Markup Language) Style Sheet technology, which
>promises to extend the current Cascading Style Sheet technology, thus
>enabling Web sites to create more complex Web pages. Dynamic HTML is also
>fully supported.
>
>And the icing on the cake: Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 from Snap
>Online, CNET's new online service, includes all the features found in the
>plain version of IE 4.0, plus access to the extra goodies that Snap has
>to offer. You can tune in to the Snap channel from within the browser for
>a direct route to the Web's best content--from publishers like CNN, ESPN,
>MSNBC, Discovery Online, and Pathfinder's Thrive. You will also be able
>to browse Snap's directory of Web sites, download software, view
>personalized stock quotes, sports scores, and even your horoscope, and
>participate in chats and Web events. This level of adaptability to your
>personal preferences gives you easier access to the Web-based information
>that's important to you. Who loves you, baby? BROWSERS.COM, of course:
