This goes out to those of you who are worried your favorite websites wont work in Firefox. If you must use Internet Explorer do all the developers (and your self) a favor and.....

The new version of Firefox has a little feature that lets you join mass complaints to the owners of websites like that.  Hopefully we won't have that problem much anymore.

Is there tab-browsing?  If there is, I'll start using that as apposed to Firefox.

yes! upgrade to IE7! After 24 hours you can already get infected and have vulnerabilities exploited!



First vulnerability in IE7 already found after less than 24 hours after release: http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/38840178/article.pl

you've gotta be stupid to keep using IE, especially after this display of incompetence.  I can't think of anything significant that IE offers over firefox.

Please, no more mention of FireFox (or opera). I just want people to upgrade for xhtml/css issues.

IE doesn't even know how to read HTML correctly.  It's not that much better, just trying to be more like firefox.

A netscape based browser is already faster and better equiped than microsoft's.

Firefox ftw.

I forgot that anyone was dumb enough to use something as easily exploitable as IE, just because they release lots of versions, doesn't mean they are good.

GO TO HELL!
Firefox PWNS Internet Explorer....stop forcing Microsoft bs down our throats...its bad enough we have to usef Windows XP....!

but you don't need to use windows XP ;)

If more and more people start using Linux and say they wish they had games that ran on Linux... game developers would be much more likely to start making games for Linux.

They're not going to make games for Linux if people don't use Linux to start with.  Now.. if everyone used Linux for 95% of their computer usage and Windows only for games... then they'd definately look into it.

I'll just stick to the lovely Opera.

BTW can Win XP run on 233Mhz? Cause it says minimum req 233Mhz yet i don't think winXP or Windows Server 2003 will run on that very good.
