I just tested on Windows NT4
SP4 the latest Microsoft's browser, Internet Explorer 5, and the
latest Netscape browser, Communicator 4.51. Netscape is the winner.

I @Macarlo just released here on NT4 SP4 a comparative test with two most recent web browsers available on the Net: Microsoft Explorer 5 and Netscape Communicator 4.51. Netscape is the winner in all features but Explorer is the most fast. But IE5 can't see flash animations if you don't download the Flash Plugin and simple crashes on web sites using this new technology (foto above) as Elton Mark's web site (EHNet, Inc. Internet Services,California, <http://www.goelton.com>).
Recently I crashed on Windows NT with Service Pack 4 bombed by virus
but I reinstalled my NT, copyed the entire HDD to other as a backup
and now I'm running just fine here. I downloaded Internet Explorer 5
from Microsoft web site with Active Setup (18MB) and decided make it
my default browser for surfing and communications. Really the new
Outlook Express is suck, is the most fast email client I see in my
life on the Net! I'm using also here Neoplanet 2.1 (the most recent
official version) and downloaded also the ultimate model, the alpha
release called Technology Preview, that is Neoplanet 5.0.The other
big browser I was using here is the Netscape Communicator 4.03, just
the version packed as a gift in Matrox Millenium CD. I'm using it
because my web site have many OS/2 users visitants using Netscape
Communicator 4.04 by IBM. To make home pages here I'm using Boxer and
SemWare TSE32 Pro v2.80b embedded on IDE with StarEdit that generates
a new code. This HTML is the most recent technology but have some
problems, as generates tables that Comm/4 can't see correctly. Only
IE4, IE5 and Opera 3.51 and 3.60 b3 can see correctly this pages and
-obviously, the StarBrowser. Because this problem I test all pages I
made here calling two browsers: IE5 and Netscape. This week, talking
with ASP members, those members indicated me WebExpress 3.0 from
Microvision Development, Inc. as the solution and I decided try it.
Yeahhh, man, with this editor from MVD I really solved the problem!
Well, yesterday I decided visit Elton Marks ' web site because he has
been migrated to new web technology and I will go quickly see his
code. I was very happy here with my powerfull Internet Explorer 5,
the fastest web browser that I know but I simple crashes with it on
Elton's web site. The IE5 have not built-inthe necessary plugin to
see flash features and Elton's site ask me if I want download his
flash feature, 107KB. I answer yes and just the download is finished
the IE5 crashes, suiciding with a Dr. Watson's banner displayed
informing that an error was made in memory access (the famous GPF
using other name, hehehe). Talking with Elton he saids me that the
new Netscape have not this problem because incorporates the flash
plugin. I'm moved quickly to NetCenter and downloaded Communicator
4.51 without Smart Update. Fortunatelly I'm Get Right registered
user! Netscape server was desconeccted me 17 times during the
download of 14,7MB (cc32e451.exe). Finally, after three hours the
file is here and I installed it quickly! Hiho, man, just I installed
this new Netscape I see that IE5 is not the best! The new
Communicator that I made now my default browser is not fast as IE5 to
load pages on the Net but is much more efficient! Using Netscape
Communicator 4.51 I accessed quickly the Elton's web site and can see
the new animations with fantastic flash technology effects made with
Macromedia Dreamweawer (I downloaded the trial copy of Dreamweawer
2.01 today to test it and just updated this web site using it but at
the end of the job Dreamweawer was crashed and I used WebExpress 3.0
to correct the faillures generated). Returning at the theme of this
report Netscape Communicator have also Real Player and Instant
Messenger for AOL with separate objects on desktop and have an
enhanced mail client that is much more efficient than Outlook Express
(it looks like PMMail!). I was using @Macarlo's Snap as my home on
Neoplanet and MSN as my home on IE5, both customized and enhanced.
Just I installed Netscape 4.51 this one has been replaced all of my
home in Neoplanet and IE5 by NetCenter (hehehehe.....).
