641346 2008-02-20 07:39:00 Id go FF. But because its open source its not as good as IE7.

Wow, I have to say thats one of the most ill-conceived statements I've ever read. Just the assumption that open-source < MS products is crazy. I use MS OS' and a lot of their products but like hell I'd give up a lot of my apps that are open source.

Like Comodo over Windows Defender
Nero over whatever XP/Vista can do
Avast over...?
CCleaner and HJT over Disk Cleanup and Dr. Watson/Events viewer

641347 2008-02-20 07:43:00 Err I think youre getting confused between free and open source BW

Just because its free, it doesnt mean anyone can code / change / update it.

ie: Comodo maybe free, but I dont they'll give the code to anyone to update it / make changes to it. Likewise for Ccleaner and HJT.

In order for something to be open source the source code must be available as well (ie: linux/ff)
