no problems so far although the updates are a little slow it still works



I honestly haven't done a list, but Microsoft updates do at times, and I
know many posters could come up with a list.
Many "about" links also goto IE.

I know I get slightly pissed off when I magically jump to IE at times.


reliase this win7 machine is a virtual and about the closest I get to
using their product

OK, I am running the other way, w7pro with virtual xp. works for me.

BTW what ever happened to the simple old:
=========
READY
RUN_

Cheers Don...

==================


all the machines here run a base which is free of microsoft

Sun have an excellent virtual machine and apart from a couple of
specific programs bill aint needed here anymore

Interesting when I look up web stats there are more people using IE that
Firefox.

Not surprising really. The bulk of users are plug and play. Those not
involved in technical work are not motivated to learn, seek and download
something better. Same as most people are not interested in lifting the
bonnet on their car.

It's now "normal" because of the browser wars to have some web sites
work with some browsers and not others.
I have faced up to using three Internet Explorer, Firefox (main) and
Google Chjrome (like reading foriegn news and it auto translates,
probably the most buggy though)

Admittedly it happens less often these days.

I can't recall seeing a site that 'required' IE for a very, very long
time (years).

I can't run it, and would never want to anyway.

Opera has a user-agent spoofing tool built-in, and I believe there's an
add-on for Firefox.

Exactly.

IME, FF bugs are fixed very quickly.

Firefox still does not work with some links, and that bug is not
even acknowledged by FF promoters.

Except it's not a 'bug' in Firefox if the page is badly coded (usually
occurs when it's been authored with something awful like 'Frontpage'
incidentally.)

FF is constantly being updated to fix bugs that are not even
acknowledged.

Good grief - Are you actually suggesting that regular bug-fixes are a
*bad* thing?

Extremely rare for it not to work, I doubt I have had this problem in
the last year or so.
On the other hand, it depends on what sort of sites you visit, and

=========================================

I've never had a problem with FF not opening any links. I have heard that
the only sites that have issues are those relating to some of the more
extreme fetish sites.

I still use Firefox on Windows XP, Windows 7, OSX, and Solaris 10,
in spite of its minor bugs.
It is a little annoying being forced to us IE when Firefox can't
handle a link though.

Konqueror does this also, for quite a wide variety of browsers. Runs on
Windows too.

Been known for ages that IE9 isnt for XP. They would rather you buy new
than they support old. XP is just old.
