   for me it is completely borked. in os x it is simply loading and crashing. if I alt/apple/esc you can watch it load and crash in the "force quit" window. it is goofy.
   I am going to bring my laptop in tomorrow just to show you!

   Ah yes, I had the same problem on my mac. I needed to drag the firefox icon into my Applications folder and then it worked. Same for Thunderbird. I have no idea why... I'm a mac newbie, but Brad told me to do it so I did.

   1) Its an active development project. This means that things get fixed, features get added and its users get to benefit from an improved (and improving) experience.
   IE, as good as it once was, is really stuck in the past. Microsoft would be well served to start actively developing it again.
