adware has been removed.  I guess firefox/Mozilla/Netscape were
putting too much pressure by being free.

I have not had time to see which CSS bugs they have fixed.

It is expected that desktop usage will grow substantially due to this
move, peripheral income generated from things like Google searches is
expected to surpass the previous add and registration revenue level due
to the expected increased usage.

No rendering engine updates in this version compared to v8.0. The
rendering engine won't be updated until v9 (code named Merlin which is
progressing nicely).
