Since I have taken ie7 off the computer and put back on FireFox I have had no problems at all. That OK I like the 6 and will keep it till they finally get things straighten out with the 7.

Now with FireFox upgrading I really like it. I have to go and find a couple of extensions to add on. That is one of the things I like you can add what you want not like the Microsoft you take what they give you...

hmm, i wonder how good the ie 7 is, bummer coz i can't download it and use in the office without getting some trouble with the network connection, and i don't wanna go there coz it'll upset my IT manager,

as for the one at home, well, i'm not using an original copy of windows at home hehehhehe so, it's kinda not a good thing to upgrade too

IE7 is alright I guess. I mean it's a nice upgrade over IE6. But it really depends if your a firefox guy or an IE guy. I'm more of a firefox guy so I use firefox 2 cause I think it's great. The only problem I used to have is many pages would say you must use IE to view this. So I got the IE tab now I can switch back and forth between them.

Yes with the IE to be able to switch back and forth with the tabs like FireFox. As like you I still like FireFox for searching and all the other things. The only thing is I have a simple program I like to use and can not use it in FireFox...

Has anyone here used the thunderbird program? I've heard it was good but haven't really used it. In my opinion, I think that firefox is better than IE. Another problem with IE is that you cannot get it unless your windows is genuine. But, anyone can get firefox.

I have not used it but my son has...he said that it is ok but he is use to firefox and so he stuck with that....

I think if I am not mistaken Humpty might use the thunderbird one....

Yeah, most people I know are sticking to Firefox these days. I think Microsoft really got beat in this one. Firefox is just so user friendly and good, but IE isn't up to par with firefox. But, Microsoft does have one big advantage. Most new computers come with IE, not firefox. So, for those people that don't use the internet deeply, they will probably stick with IE.

Well , i tried the beta version for a month now and i have switched back to the XP again , the main problem that first i found was networking and it was reaally difficult for it to detect my networking and modem . And then the thing was the taht it reqiuires me to upgrade almost everything so that it can properly and let run the other application programs too , it was really making my computer slow , it requires me to upgrade my processor with a higher speed and certainly the ram and also hard drive .
