You, sir, are correct.
Umm, these two are different? :)

Yeah, I thought so too. I just want to know whether or not either of them is going to screw up my N800 with 2008. I know the browser on the Maemo site said that it was for OS2007, which is why I haven't downloaded either.

OS2008 comes with MicroB preinstalled, no need to update it (it updates with the OS, so next one in Diablo). The 6x browser is an experimental mobile GUI for Firefox which won't screw any of your browsers but won't be stable either :)

OS2007 has an Opera based browser

OS2008 is Mozilla based

if you prefer opera then, yes, it will screw up your N800

if you like the default one in OS2008 then it won't. Its a personal thing.

Yeah, well. It IS the internet.

I think the confusion was caused by the lack of updates on the http://browser.garage.maemo.org/ page.
OS2008 comes with MicroB which is based on Mozilla.
the install instructions on the page listed above were for people on OS2007 that wanted to try out MicroB.
There are further mozilla-based browsers in the works which purport to be faster than MicroB, but they are not stable yet.

I am confused. I didn't say anything about Rezigrene. I was trying to help him. I was making comments about how 'unhelpful' GA started off in this thread and about how others took it off topic and I was making a guess as to what the OP might mean.

In my sleep deprived state yesterday, my posts do look rather uncharacteristic though :(

So, after 12 good hours sleep I feel much better now :) I will stay away from posting when lacking sleep in the future :D
