[nmglug] A true IE replacement??

[steven alyari]

sounds like you are pretty much stuck with IE until those corporate 
sites start making standards compliant applications, which will then 
run on any platform (OSX,Windows,and Linux).

There is MyIE2 or whatever, if you want a redressing of the IE engine 
for windows.

Firefox will never implement active x; i'd bet on that (they have their 
own application environment called XUL which corporations may start 
using after the 1.0 release), but i have no idea what other "tricks" 
you are referring to.
