IE7/WinVista seem very short on original features in general - one that
comes to mind is their new installation system that *doesn't* spread
packages across your harddrive when you install them (much like other
operating systems have had since at least the eighties, then?). And I'd
be quite impressed by its shiny appearance if I'd never seen MacOS X.

What's the licence on Gecko, out of interest? Can they use it without
violating the licence like they could with the BSD TCP/IP stuff? Not
that I think they'd take any notice if they thought they'd get away with
it.
