Anything is better than PIE, so the IE6 it is going to be an improvement, especially considering that pretty much the only improvement since it's launch was zoom in WM6.1, but I don't care anyway - I'm using Opera for my browsing, not perfect but good enough. Just like WM is (for now) good enough. Although given how competition is quickly improving and WM is mostly standing still I guess it won't be good enough for long.

In general it's really strange - the way WM/Pocket PC "improved" since 2000 and especially in the last two years when competition really heated up, one can only think that either WM team is completely incompetent or at least complacent or WM as a product is just an ugly stepchild in MS that no one really wants.
I guess it's the second, which is a shame, considering mobile computing is the way of the future, and considering they had years of head start compared to competition. Maybe they need to fail to get a lesson...
