The OmniWeb sneakypeek versions are awesome. Except for the last one... 
sp 10 is really flaky. I can run sp 9 for hours upon hours, throwing all 
sorts of sites at it and it just chugs along. sp 10 throws up in 5 
minutes (this happens on a variety of machines). sp 9, after a while, 
will have a problem. Plus, it appears to hang more often on a MP box, 
but I don't have hard evidence on that one.

There are also some remaining JavaScript issues that proves to be a 
stumbling block for OmniWeb. Invariably, many web sites have forms that 
use JavaScript often when I click on the submit or equivalent button, 
nothing happens in OmniWeb. I think this may be the same reason why I 
can't use Datek with OW. Also look at the difference between OW and IE 
on http://www.covadbiz.com/. The IE rendering includes indented bullet 
items. I am so hoping these remaining JavaScript issues can be nailed 
soon so that I don't need to ever run IE.

Thanks!
