Well, guys, another thing I wanted to mention about the start-up time of IE, that in windows, like PlusFan said, some parts are loaded @ start-up, but if you go over to a MAC OS computer, it has a start-up splash like Netscape and other browsers, it takes just as long
Note: I HATE Mac OS, MAC OS X isn't AS bad as the others, but the version I was using was like...8? Anyways, I had to use it for Media Arts last year *shivers @ thought of Mac Os*
