Depends on what those 5 programs are. If they are all primed and heavy
on resources to be so primed, you have issues. If one program can be as
primed as all 5, but less resource hungry, then it stands to reason it
is better ...

MSN Messenger opens email in IE, and everything else in the win default
browser. Programs with 'built-in browser' use IE. The ads on ICQ use IE.
So do the ads on Yahoo, and MSN.
So just because something is system default it does not mean it is going
to be used by every app.

When it comes to believing, i would believe the group I am most likely
to buy from, if i was to buy at all. And one source is not enough info.
Unfortunately i only had the one source up there =D

maybe it does. I know I have done plenty of electrical work myself that
is small scale. only been zapped a few times. maybe we are talking about
different things here though?

I agree. One app to do several things is better
