I knwo that one. It's long been a favourite of mine. But the other side 
of the equatione there, is that they abandoned their old version, and 
tried to make a clean break.

No such thing is tried with Z3. Z2 & Z3 will be complemtary for a while. 
After which Z3 should take over.

Besides... I am not shure that MS has won the browser war yet. Mozilla 
is a far better browser.
