Funny Incident with msn and Avant Browser !

well.. i was checking the Avant web Browser.. you know trying to stay updated...it is a free web browser
but it installed itsfel in arabic
even there are english version of course

i was looking.. oh ! err.. what is that.. was so funny in arabic.. there are some words..

anyway.. that is not the story
i don't know what i clicked and Avant Browser became my default one
usually i have firefox or opera installed as my default

i was checkin my hotmail from the messenger
usually.. when using messenger and u click on mail.. it opens in Internet Explorer
that bugs me

but today.. it didn't open in Internet explorer.. it opened with the Avant Browser

well i guess in msn there is something like this
if default browser  = firefox or Operah then
  ignore.. and use IE anyway
  freeze computer for 5 min heik inti2am
  send alert to microsoft DB
  Install firefox or Operah Performance Bug
end if

it is just a funny incident that happened, just wanted to share
and guys.. check the avant browser (even tho u don't need another browser)
and is there any work around for the msn check mail problem that i mentioned above

yes...to be honest.. it is quite weird.. investigating about the guys
finding couple of intresting stuff.. will keep u updated

maybe a microsoft effort ..but the name looks french..avant

now.. new name to be added to the "what is ur favorite browser" flame war

[post edit]

there are lot of weird stuff about those guys
first..check the forums
i checked on the name of who did the arabic translation

the company is called Avant Force

i searched for contact information
on the avant browser page..the contact info is pathetic
http://www.avantbrowser.com/contact.html
check this page
http://www.webbuyersguide.com/bguide/co … tegory=436
lot of na information submitted
and check this sentence :

Avant Browser is an upgrade to Internet Explorer and is a multi-window browser available in 34 languages.

is it an upgrade to. or they mean from
and how can it be multi-platform

umm.. getting more weird

Avant  uses the IE engine.
IE is also available for mac, so maybe that's what they mean by "multi-platform"
