LOl! I KNOW IE is a piece of junk but I use Safari 3 on my Mac, I just like "busting chops" on you PC folk!You are fickle.I changed my mind. As bad as Firefox is (and it is bad), it is much better than IE.
Not necessarily. IE really is that crappy, and it only takes 15 minutes after installing it to figure that out.
I've been running Firefox as my primary browser for the past three years and have never encountered crash problems.
Same here. Are you using Vista? I've been using Windows XP with no problems.
Well, if you've been using IE forever than you've at least been missing tabbed browsing for years, since tabbed browsing has been in Firefox for a long time.I guess I don't know what I've been missing. I've been using IE forever and never really had any problems.

As others have said, Opera is a rockin' browser. For basic web surfing, I think it's number one. It's a slim piece of software too. The only problem with it is that some sites aren't as compatible with it as you'd like.

XP and now Vista. Firefox runs great. I only use IE to access my company intranet which will only work on IE. Other than that I am a Firefox man.
No need even for that:

No way ! Nobody got through IE4 without therapy.
If you want to become more of an apostate, you can get a Mac with OS X 10.5, add Ubuntu to it, and download Flock for a web browser for either Ubuntu or Mac or both.
Windows XP was a solid platform. But Vista on my newest laptop has me contemplating the strange fire of Mac. I just wish that Libronix had its Mac version out already. With more than 3,500 books in the Libronix format on my machine, it is prohibitive for me to change yet.

The 5 most annoying programs on your PC - Download Squad
Be nice about Apple Fred or I will keep emailing you with my iPhone! Steve thought it was funny.The latest version of Acrobat (not Reader) is very good and quick. Still takes up a lot of disk space (2GB), but in the days of cheap HDs, who cares?
Real Player is so bad that I have not even bothered to listen to .ram files for years. I refuse to ever have any version of Real Player on my system.
iTunes is typical Apple. Looks cute, is a huge hog, is nearly impossible to customize, cannot be backed up, does not work well with other programs, etc. If I did not like my iPod, I would never even look at an iTunes website. Ugh. If you really want to see how bad this is, go to Apple's own support forum and look at the "advice" that you are given as options for basic things like "back up my library" "transfer my library to a new external hard drive." You have a better chance of converting Iran than getting iTunes to play nice.
I haven't used IE for years either. Now with an IE tab view extension in FF, I never have to for anything, even MS sites.
Outlook is the one program that I can't live without. It works fine for me. I need it because I have so much productivity software that works with it - a great search engine (X1), GTD addin, Calendar print add in, addin for my phone PBx, etc. You need to customize and massage it - keeping your main PST file small (archiving) and compacting after deleting big emails, but it can run pretty smooth. There is also a tool (scanpst.exe) that helps to keep it on track.

What operating system?
Try Firefox without the gadgetry and it won't crash as often.
If you use OS X, then go with this.
Works faster than Firefox on OS X -- at least that's my experience with it. Glad you like it so far!just downloaded and installed it. I like it so far.

I would not put it past them -- MS has done this kind of thing before -- purposefully making competing software perform bad on their operating system. I know it sounds conspiracy-like, but . . .This is interesting. With my old XP machine, FF was more stable than IE7. With this new Vista machine, the exact opposite is true. I have zero problems with IE now. In fact, dare I say it, I've become a fan of IE!

Actually, I wasn't accusing MS of anything. I was simply declaring my support for IE7. I won't bother fussing with anything else anymore.I would not put it past them -- MS has done this kind of thing before -- purposefully making competing software perform bad on their operating system.

I've found the exact oppisite to be true. I install Linux on one of my machines and that turned out to be a headache I gave up on. I eventually reinstalled XP and now it runs fine as a secondary machine.Changing over to Linux was significantly less painful for me than "updating" to Vista was for almost everyone that I know who did so. Ubuntu isn't perfect, but in my opinion is way better than Vista. Plus, it's free!

To be clear, until shortly before Vista's release I was a Micro fan, but I'd finally had enough. Changing over to Linux was significantly less painful for me than "updating" to Vista was for almost everyone that I know who did so. Ubuntu isn't perfect, but in my opinion is way better than Vista. Plus, it's free!
I'm sympathetic to the Ubuntu thing. And I have looked at it a bit. But what do you do with programs that are written to work in Windows? Specifically, we have a church database and financial software that is designed for Windows. I don't think it would work in something like Ubuntu...
I have over $1,000 worth of references in Logos Bible Software, which only runs in Windows. I also do my finances in Quicken, for which I haven't found an adequate Linux replacement. I get around this by running a WinXP virtual machine under Linux using VMware's VMWorkstation. There are other virtual machine solutions available as well, some free. This approach has worked very well for me. Since I can limit what access the VM has to the host computer and the outside world, I can easily compensate for Windows' security shortfalls.
