IE4 is an awesome browser. Persistent client side storage, AJAX, HW 3D animation, dynamic sound generation, dHTML+TIME, etc. You can even create desktop widgets in HTML+JS on Win98.
- almost 16y agoWell yes, you could create desktop widgets. I think that even worked in Win95 if you had IE4 installed. But then your whole computer became about as stable as IE4...
- megablast 16y agoAnd since IE became an integral part of the operating system, from that point on, the OS was always as unstable as IE. Brilliant idea. Of course we all new that it was a lie, despite Bill Gates testimony that it was impossible to separate the browser from the OS.
- almost 16y agoI remember using Windows 98 Light Edition or something. It was a hacked version of Windows with IE surgically removed. As fast and stable as Windows 95! :p
- gaius 16y agoYeah, it's weird how people tend to completely overlook that XMLHttpRequest is a Microsoft thing, originally it was to make the Outlook web client work.
