| 460778 | 2006-06-05 11:33:00 | I've been trying out IE 7 to see what it's like, but for my money it is so slow it is almost unusable. Have I been spoilt by Firefox or is it like this for everyone?. It's like rural dial up even though I'm on city broadband. | Twelvevolts (5457) | ||
| 460779 | 2006-06-05 17:24:00 | Using IE 3,4,5,6,7 or whatever is a real blonde-thing . Doh! IE will NEVER be equal to FireFox, as it's not open-coded and subject to being repaired and monitored easily . There are worlds of people who truly resent Bill and try to destroy him and his systems as they see fit . . . twisted or not . . . it's the truth . Users of anything M$ get hit in the peripheral collateral damage that is sent to M$ . . we suffer a lot . Unfortunately, if one uses Windows platform(s), then one must also become and IE/IT too . It's just the territory we live in that makes it so dangerous . There are some really . . . REALLY talented people out there, somewhere in the world who are awake when the rest of us are asleep, testing and repairing and making sure that FireFox runs smooth and well . The opposite is true about IE . . these people don't sleep, eat Twinkies and use speed just trying to find ways to mess with M$ . (They probably listen to slash- or death-metal music too by performers like "Snot & The Vomits" or "UrineCocktail") . The results are see-able and believable no matter how "head-in-the-sand" one wants to be . I don't proffer that this is the only reason why IE is so dangerous, but it is one mitigating factor for my not wanting to use IE at all . I get my M$ and Windows updates thru IE, but that's about all . Those with rectal views about IE can flame all they want . . . it won't matter to me . . . I use FireFox for all that I can, and I do not want to argue with those who do otherwise . . . that's why there's such things as HiJackThis and CCleaner and a slew of other anti-stuff out here and the huge security/spyware industry too like McAfee or Norton/Symantec . Even Mr . Bill is going at it now (anti-malware/security programs) as he sees the light . . . (read: $$$) . DISCLAIMER: The forgoing is an opinion, and should not be construed as anything but an opinion . As such an opinion, there is not intended libel or assault upon the personage(s) allude to/about in the above testimony . Taken on face value, this is just an opinion and in no way constitutes a law, regulation or guidance pertaining to legally ascertained non-objective uses of the mentioned programs/utilities cited, so there! |

| 460780 | 2006-06-06 02:12:00 | I run both IE6 and Firefox 1 . 5 . 04 . To be fair FireFox is not exactly perfect either, it can often display web pages incorrectly and legit required pop ups need some coaxing etc . ***Most people seem to forget MS products are nearly 99% targeted by hackers and spyware developers as it is by FAR the most used platform . Why bother writing a virus that can only potentially attack less than 10% of the worlds PC's . If Linux (pick a distro) and FireFox was running 90% of the worlds desktops it is highly likely they would suffer a huge barrage of exploots,attacks as MS products do now . I may sound like a MS product lover, but that couldn't be further from the truth . Tall poppy syndrome is alive and well, i just like to add balance to threads like this . |

| 460782 | 2006-06-06 04:15:00 | I've just installed IE7 this morning and am enjoying it over IE6. I will be trying this out for a while. I installed Firefox a few weeks ago but have always come back to IE. Why? Its because people like me (90%) uses windows platform and are familiar with it. Its easier to stick with something you know than something that your're not familiar with. Same for Antivirus softwares. I have been using NAV for years and loath to change to something different - perhaps I will one day! Really I can't see much difference between IE7 and Firefox as they both do the job very well BUT IE7 is much better than IE6. | ephesus (2509) | ||
| 460783 | 2006-06-06 06:31:00 | People would be wise to update to the latest version of Firefox as there have been a number of security flaws patched lately according to this report (www.informationweek.com). | FoxyMX (5) | ||
