1174476	2011-02-02 18:45:00	Firefox 4 has not impressed me yet, and I hate the new design with the 'stick the menus up in the title-bar' crap. It's the way of the future - no wonder you don't like it :D	pcuser42 (130)
1174477	2011-02-02 19:07:00	Vista was the way of the future 5 years ago, doesn't mean it was a good future though.	Chilling_Silence (9)

1174481	2011-02-03 18:45:00	I started with IE in MSN and in those days I also had AOL (Gasp!) and IE was - er, OK . I looked at FF and thought: "this is so - b l a n d" . But once I tried it, I was hooked and have had FF ß through all of it's permutations - some were less than 100% fantastic, but they never failed me . There 'was' the memory-leak thingy, but that seems to be cured and yet ---- I look around for - what? Something faster I guess with less footprint . I run FF and Chrome, even Chrome Canary and I am warming up to them a lot now . NEVER EVER want to use IE no matter what it says about itself - testimonials by anyone else, nor book/magazine reviews - since it has been the single most corruptible engine in the world according to me and all the damage I see in machines that use it exclusively . Now - I know that everyone here is at the top of their internet browsing game and never go to bad or dodgy places - but if youse guys were a neophyte (n00b) and didn't know any better and IE was legacy-loaded into your machine - you go down in flames pretty quick . I suggest that IE may indeed be OK - barely OK to me - but not for n00bs . Mindful of the improvements (permissions/administrative question) in the newer IE browsers and that they might have corralled in the Active-X nasties - it's still a crapshoot and you've gotta scratch your head and ask why they don't make it more secure like FF/Google . Of course, I could be wrong - and I'm sure there is gonna be dissension about this - even some veiled anti-me rancor, but that's the way I feel .	SurferJoe46 (51)
