Now there is no "but". It's everything that we liked about the old IWE software, plus a whole lot more. The only things missing (and neither is technical) are regular columnists -- ones who have the time and resources to devote to regular, feature-length articles -- and a steady stream of fresh readers. And the second of those is only potentially an asset, as the S/N ratio would likely plummet. === Microsoft offers them the one thing most business people will pay any price for - the ability to say "we had no choice - everyone's doing it that way." -- [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=38978\|Andrew Grygus]

Yes, search has been a sticking point for a while.\r\n \r\nPersonally, I gauge a feature's usefulness by how long it takes me to start using it.\r\n \r\n \r\n Save Without Preview: immediate. Big win. \r\n Show New Forums Only: immediate. REALLY big win. Performance win too. \r\n Codes/link translation: immediate. Cool, but not as massively time-saving as the first two. \r\n Link targets: eh. I immediately set it to 'same window' and left it. \r\n Search: not immediate, but I have used it at least once (to post that link about Ballmer and the X-box in Australia). Useful as all hell when you need it; no-op otherwise. \r\n \r\n \r\nWe used to have some regular columnists (poke Robert Brewer and Wade)...
