I'll just add the following, as Paul Randall in this thread mentioned, many
ISPs have their own software. Hence, it's possible your friend was talking
about the compatibility of his ISP's software. However, I'm dubious about
his claims for Comcast's software, if it is that to which he was referring,
as well as whether or not he has done any studies or could point to any
studies that would verify that "fact."<VBG>
I don't think I've installed software from an ISP in over 10 years (And when
I did, it usually messed up my system, hence the reason I don't install such
software and recommend against doing so) and today, given the fact you have
an integrated browser, access to other free browsers, newsreaders and e-mail
clients and most ISP's have a site with instructions for setting up their
services on your system, most of which rarely require the installation of
any additional software, his statement would seem to have no validity.
