Keith, you should try OS X - stability like you wouldn't believe. And a
nice bonus, I use 'Safari' - Apple's own web browser (still in beta) and
so have rid myself of all MS software on my Macs. Having said that, the
Mac team at MS do a very good job - IE 5.x is no slouch and I used it in
preference to Netscrape or iCab or Mozilla.
I also use Safari—btw, non-beta vers. 1.0 has been out for a little while now.
The fact that Safari is designed to work with OS X by the people who wrote OS X is killer (see http://www.apple.com/applescript/safari/ for some of the perks). Pre Safari I preferred Mozilla and iCab over I.E.—the only problems I ever had were with websites that were designed exclusively for I.E. (Microsoft's lovely "embrace and exclude" policy).
Right now, there are more good browser options for Macs than ever before (see http://www.macorchard.com/)
While waiting to film the interviews I went over and cleaned up all the
Macintosh desktops, getting rid of nonesense and setting mouse speeds and
sizes to something half-decent ;-) Gotta keep the side up!
Me, too!
