Pretty interesting but (unfortunately) useless debate. Speed is only secondary, compatibility is primary! We have a bunch of enterprise-wide application here at my work-place that have been "webified". Due to the extremely high marketshare of +95% of IE, all applications have been optimized for IE only. All but one do not work with Konqueror at all (Script error at login!) - unfortunately. (Side note: 4 out of 5 applications do work with Mozilla 1.0). So what's the point of speed, if I can't even use Konqueror. And, I don't have the luxury to surfe the web 90% of my work-time. That's one reason why my company would not allow me to have a Linux-only workstation here. -Uli
Hate those optimizations, run into occaisonly. However, its not as numerous as I once feared it would be. For average user, not enterprise, its a different story. Like when people mention desktops...Well in what context? Enterprise workstation is one things, home user who only browses three or four sites and does e-mail is quite another. Matt
