Demon is for sale.
I wonder if Microsoft are the buyer?

Why has demon got into bed with Microsoft's IE? It is flawed, bugged, does
work properly, just for starers. Demon should give their customers the
choice of the best software & services available. IE 4.0 does not even pass
the JAVA compatability tests. Microsoft have done this deliberately to try
to undermine the most important thing that has happened to the software
industry since assembler was conceived, I.E JAVA.
Sun are sueing Microsoft over the issue.
Check out http://www.javasoft.com/announcement/index.html
Microsoft want to rule Internet technology, and they're getting desperate,
trying to use their marketing advantage to push through their flawed
technologies.
Demon are lending them more than a helping hand. I am so angry about the
fact I had to have my 2p's worth. I write software for the Net & have so
many problems with customers using IE, we now advise them not to use it.
Please Demon, you must climb out of bed with Microsoft & advise your
customers on the best options.

Regards, Chris Moore
