huh? Netscape is Mozilla with AOL links and bundles, Mozilla is not Netscape on steroids, Mozilla is the basis of Netscape.

* Guido remembers convincing him to stop using IE

I think that you can't consider Avant, or something like it an alternative, because it uses IE, and therefore is insecure, and will still give you #### spyware. Also it does not follow the standards. Those IE 'patches' also make me wonder something: If IE is such a great browser, why do we need to add all these features with a "patch"?
Could you read that first sentence and explaining how the hell did you reach to that conclusion? :P

Avant uses IE --> it's insecure --> magically gives you #### spyware --> it's not an alternative.

Wow, that's power of deduction.

The fact that they use IE's rendering engine doesn't make them the same program. They are alternatives. And much better than Firefox or others, IMO.

Who said IE is "such a great browser"? Even Microsoft knows that's not true. You should read MS employees' blogs more often, there's a lot of talk about IE lately.
