NeoPlanet 2.0 Users to Experience Faster and More Powerful Browsing

NeoPlanet Inc., announced today that its NeoPlanet Internet browser/portal software now supports Microsoft Internet Explorer 5. Using the Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 browser engine to render Web pages, NeoPlanet 2.0 provides users with a complete Internet environment, fusing the best of portal and browser functionality into a product that facilitates intuitive, personalized Web navigation.

Because NeoPlanet uses the browsing engine of Microsoft Internet Explorer, users will experience the benefits of Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 when they install the product, including compatibility with the latest Web standards such as DHTML, XML and faster browsing.

"We appreciate Microsoft's continued support of a componentized architecture and leadership in providing a development platform that allows us to innovate with NeoPlanet," said Drew Cohen, president and CEO of NeoPlanet Inc. "This strategic relationship ensures that
