Why would Maximum Linux magazine have a Linux apps cd with IE 5?

[Lucas Vogel]

Maximum Linux seems to be the LinuxOne of linux mags - a whole lot of fluff,
mainly to capitalize on (consumer/developer/linux enthusiast) interest while
returning only enough information to fill a magazine. With the exception of
an occasional helpful newbie article, it's pretty lame(unless you're a big
fan of Linux advertising).
