I would agree with this.

I think 1.6 would be very worthwhile as it contains support for NTLM auth which a
lot of users (my users/clients at least) use as it allows them to use all those
nasty sites like Outlook web acces and most sites that run on MS products and use
authentication.

I know its allowed me to use three or four sites under linux that I could previously
only use with the dreaded IE

And its also due out any day now and hence will be able to be in there for the
entire beta peroid.
