hi there - i have the same concerns and problems with msntv - been with them since 1994 - i have learned to live with these limitations - it depends on what you want to do on the web - it is sometimes very slow - do you know about powering off by hitting the alt key along with the power button? - i believe that by doing that, it clears out the memory stored in your browser - i would be curious to learn of your decision and the results - i check this site about twice a month - good luck
