cant live w/o combination of mozilla and minefield.
XP 32 bit-> mozilla
Vista 64 bit-> minefield.

What makes me frustrating is d yellow add on installer of IE which pops up now and then when we open some pages, I dont understand although I m having FLASH client on my pc, why do i need to update? I have to ignore it everytime, and unless v ignore it by clicking [X] on RHS panel, IE doesnt open the web page,
Is that prob solved in IE B vB2?

I'll download only after they intoduce a stable version.

I m frustrated with IE 7(64bit) on vista, will definitely try IE 8.
But still cant forget d simplicity and features of IE 6.
Still using it on XP.

So total 2 browers on each OS, one for public life, other for private p*** life.
ENJOY BOTH!!

I cant even remember when I last used internet explorer.. probbably when I did something on the microsoft updates site.

I use firefox and I am more then happy with it. I have been using windows XP for the last so many years now and to be honest I wont upgrade to Vista unless I find something I cant do with using XP.

Why change your operating system when the old one is doing all you want it to do?

ie6 was definitely gr8... used so lil memory (tho its not a prob now with 1.2gig on xp )... but it lacked tabs... the main feature desired now... back then usin ff was desirable... but now i jus don't see the point of using it anymor... for one its takes about 15 secs just to open up after reboot while ie8 b2 takes bout 4-5.

windows vista without a GOOD graphics card is just pure crap... i installed it on my system and the aero woudn't activate... and the default theme then is just so frustrating to the eyes...just reverted to good ol xp.

and yes there's a very good theme for xp which made my day sometime back..
just search for "windows xp zune theme" on google... the first link is the one. extremely pleasing to the eyes. and official microsoft theme too.

i have installed this IE8 on my Vista Ultimate and can not see any good changes with this new version...

i am using Firefox 3 which is already providing me all what i need and there are lot many easy to access features in mozilla firefox which makes me to stick with it.. i got this IE 8 but still using Firefox
