This page really doesn’t seem very informative to me. People don’t care whether browsers support PNG format or any number of other technical matters. People care about ease of use, features, and security. A less comprehensive, but more personal, discussion would probably serve most users better, though it would be more subjective.
I think it’s quite difficult to find articles of the kind Milan is after. Reading about it can only get you so far; the only real way to find out what software will do for you is to get hold of it and give it a serious trial. [I’m doing just that with Opera 9.01 at the moment, and it’s a very interesting compare-and-contrast with Firefox 1.5 which has been my preference up to now.]
Having said that, here are a couple of links of possible interest:
This site is designed to help anyone who — for whatever reason — wishes to explore the possibility of living without Microsoft software. We aim to build a resource which will be informative, impartial and accessible to non-techies.
