Anyone try MSN Explorer yet?

[RampageIII]

Strictly for keeping things seperate and customizable for multi-users. I think it's trying to take over my machine. Don't think IE or Netscape are able to co-exist with it. May just have to get used to it. Seemed to access the net a little faster. Any other opinions?

MSN Explorer corrupts mail!!!

Apparently MSN explorer has a duplicate file extension that completely corrupted my outlook address book (running IE5.5 outlook 2000, did not corrupt on outlook express). It is now filled with the IE defaults like support, product update emails. While the explorer is quite functional and convenient, until they work out the kinks I would stay away.

3) The New AOL6 & MSN Explorer

Have you tried either the new AOL6 or the new MSN Explorer?
Although I've gotten some emails from users who have successfully
installed either or both, I'm also getting reports like these:

Re: MSN:
Hi Fred, just thought I'd mention what a MISTAKE I made
going with the new (beta) version of MSN. I use MSN as my
ISP, and thought "hey, generally, I have found Microsoft
products have really improved my productivity, so I'll give
it a try". Boy, did that mess things up. While they warn
you that once you switch, you won't be able to use MS
Outlook or Outlook Express again, they fail to warn you of
other problems. Specifically, I sometimes email work home
that may in some cases be more than 1 meg. Not anymore.
Because the new version of MSN uses Hotmail, I cannot
receive attachments of that size. I also cannot create nice
HTML emails like I used to, nor can I forward them when
logged in away from home. Also, many times I will be
working at home and have an email message open while I find
work related material on various websites.... While doing
this, this new beta version of MSN Explorer stopped
responding and locked up, and because my email is now
integrated, everything I had worked on was lost! Or, in
some cases, an error would occur and MSN Explorer would
tell me "We're sorry, but an error has occurred and this
program will be shut down. Would you like to tell MSN about
it? (or something like that)" And again, all of the browser
windows I had open would close, and I would lose all of the
sites I had found. This SUCKS! PLEASE WARN ALL OF YOUR
READERS NOT TO DOWNLOAD THIS PROGRAM - I WISH I HADN'T! ---

Yeah, I dumped MSN Explorer today. 2 days were enough to make me realize it needs more work, as usual. Besides, there wasn't enough browser space unless you open another window.
Too much clutter. :P
