It runs fine on win32 but doesn't quite have a native look. * You should really check out notepad2 - it beats notepad in every way and still loads very quickly. Once you have syntax highlighting in notepad you won't go back. The url is http://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html (yes, I’m late to this post…)

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks Fireworks rocks. I work in graphic design/web dev and I love Fireworks. Most of my co-workers are Photoshop guys, but I have to spend most of my day making very lean sites and animated GIFs. Fireworks beats ImageReady hands down. I'm wondering what the guys at Macrodobe are going to do with it. Now that PS CS2 has it's own symbol feature, I hope they don't kill Fireworks. BRAVO!

I think that Windows still interprets this as "opening the application" somehow, which is why IE still shows up in the menu. I also occasionally open IE proper, because sometimes I don't trust IE Tab's rendering of a page. It IS an excellent extension. Highly recommended.

Two quick comments: 1) You should definitely check out the IE Tab Firefox extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=1419&application=firefox). It lets you embed an IE window inside of a Firefox tab, which is wonderful for keeping your window count down. Also wonderful for quickly paging between the two. 2) There IS a JEdit port for Windows (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jedit/jedit42install.exe) that I use religiously. JEdit is one of those apps that you can customize to do just about anything, but not in the emacs sense of editing arcane config files. It's worth at least taking for a spin, even if you decide that you don't like it. Rock on! -Jon HELLO GOOD SIR !!
