BTW, while we're on this, a guy I work with described his experience
with the MSIE 7.0 beta today.  He says it looks like Msft replaced the
Firefox icons with their own, and called it  MSIE.  He was baffled by
the extension manager.  "Manage your extensions".  "What's to
manage?", my buddy asked.  Either it's there or it ain't, you want it
or you don't.  We decided it would make the users feel important,
knowing they can "manage" their extensions.
