Prodigal|Son's short text on web browers for Linux
--------------------------------------------------


I wonder why there are no good web browsers for linux.  mozilla is decent, 
and so is opera. Netscape will be a little better when the new version comes
out, but I don't think there will be a good one for linux until internet 
explorer comes out for it. Other *nix platforms have internet explorer, why 
not linux?  You may argue that the webpages are optimized for internet explorer, 
so only certain features will only work in internet explorer.  But don't you 
agree that the neat little features that a web browser has makes it a good 
web browser?  I've tried to use WINE and run internet explorer but it doesn't 
seem to work very well.  Microsoft continues to make products for the mac os, 
including internet explorer, but not for linux, and the last time I looked, 
linux had a little bit bigger market share of the OS's then apple, so why 
not make internet explorer compatable for linux?  It seems to me that it 
makes sense to make it available on the linux platform.  So until a good web 
browser like internet explorer comes out for linux, I'm staying with windows 
to surf the web.
