PS: The tip enables offscreen rendering in IE I've heard of this in 3D apps, but how would it apply to a browser window? M$'s "filter" CSS property enables this and DirectDraw in IE to do special effects like transparency. It makes IE faster than opera and mozilla |

It's about (80 to 100 MB for users fully up to date with XP patches and is 200 plus MB for those who haven't been applying patches. Let's say it is a average minimum of 90 MB. That is very big. Why is it so large? At least it fits on a single CD. Almost all the latest Linux distros are 3 700MB ISO files So would Windows if it included all the additional tools, utilities compilers etc that the Linux distros include. I know - I was just wondering why the original poster was so worried about 200MB... Toad |
