they == ZDNet. Indeed, this tests are really unrealistic. Basically, only IE 
can cope with them now. But  the fact that the test also consists of a 
mandatory Shockwave test (which of course cannot be there except for using 
Reaktivate) shows that this test was never supposed to be ran elsewhere but 
under Windows....

I don't think they forgot. Every Test has footnotes like "Did not work 
entirely". Still, this is not of any help. Also, the dash in each test 
implies "This browser cannot cope with CSS/JS/Java...", which is definitly 
wrong.

If only someone could pass me this darn iBench stuff.

BTW: is anyone preparing a letter to the editor?
