NO! It is not... M$FT has yet to come out with something that is standards

There was a discussion on this very topic on freshmeat sometime back...
and it was almost unanimous that netscape was more standards compliant. 
But IE was more error tolerant.(maybe because it doesn't comply to
standards)

M$FT has linked the browser and the OS together so they are as stable as
each other.

Yeah it's pretty cool... but I'm used to netscape and don't mind sticking
to it for the time being.(I use fvwm and it's pretty stable(the browser
not the WM))

I use Galeon when I have to read long pages of text as the font resizing
feature is really cool!
