Our Review: This is a very basic browser based on Internet Explorer's web page viewer. The interface is quite squashed, inconsistent and sometimes quite confusing. It does however, contain menu items that start the Windows Accessories and some predefined websites. The address bar does not have the autocomplete feature of Internet Explorer and Netscape so you have to type in the www and .com parts yourself. The bookmarks feature is not easy to use, and the menu items have no keyboard shortcuts.
