I'm fairly sure Opera will as well.
The evolution of the web interface for the humans
away from the browser and into other parts of the
operating system has been predicted on this list
and elsewhere from some time now. Browsers are
a kind of vestigial organ from the early days
of hypertext that reemerged for the WWW. They
aren't required, but they made a great HTML
handler and a nice sandbox for newcomers to
hypermedia to learn and develop the technologies
over the Internet. They aren't necessary; just
cheap and convenient. Like XML.
The reinvention thing that seems to bother some so
has been more heavily practiced by the web
community of developers than almost any other
place in computer science. It isn't wrong, but
complaining about Longhorn is like complaining that
one's teen ager is no longer a child when one
has a world of adult examples there to show
one how humans develop.
Longhorn is MAC-1986 + tags. No big whup. Since
it won't be real for another three years, there is
time for others to plan and produce. Whining won't
get that done. The owners of the web are its users.

Well, AFAIK mozilla works like a charm on Longhorn.
