Nope, there is no Moz code in IE.  

But there does seem to be alot of people who have web browsing problems
on Linux.  I have to go back a long ways to remember the last web-site
that didn't work in Galeon/GNOME for me;  but I realize that I must be
some really lucky shmuck, or I'm doing something different than everyone
else and not realizing what it is.

Me too,  but I've also seen M$ happily running more than 8 applications
at the same time.  It has alot to do with the particular applications,
the where-with-all of the Admin, and the hardware.  If the box doesn't
say "IBM" on it I just don't expect it to run any OS for more than a
week before wackiness ensues.

Trying to think the last time I saw the Linux Black Screen Of Death. 
And I don't seen a blue screen on XP very often.
