I find it interesting that they left MS Internet Explorer out of the dock and put Netscape 6 in instead.



J :cool:

    It's no surprise that they put Netscape there since they're pushing a *unix* box and most unix boxes use Netscape and not Internet Explorer.

    OR, look at all the apps with letters in their icon:



    W X P O N X



    Windows XP on OS X? Maybe? <img src="graemlins/surprised.gif" border="0" alt="[Surprised]" />

    As has been pointed out on several other boards, you do not know that Netscape is "happily doing nothing." Netscape could very well have a dozen windows processing in the background, but you just don't see them because the app may be hidden. Remember, by default running and hidden apps look identical in the Dock.



    It's just a picture, folks.

    I suppose you saw the comments on the MacNN front page about this ad. Now that was BAD.
