If you haven't updated winows for a while, do it! - I just got internet explorer 7, seems to stream better and looks pretty cool too!
media player 11 is out too Chopper says "Harden the f*** up Australia"
I gave up on IE a few years back. A confirmed Firefox user now. Give it a try. The older I get, the better I was. Regards.... Rob
I couldn't agree more with you Astro, started using mozilla a few years ago and never looked back.
just updated not that different imo.
Gunna try Firefox after hearing so much over the yrs... Cheers,

Uninstalled Firefox again.
Have tried it before.
Things I don't like...
When loading images you see the image placeholders until page is loaded...with ie it waits until they are loaded.
Firefox uses different fonts and sizes also which annoys me and I couldn't fix properly.
There is not much between Firefox and Ie 7 now with the ie update.
More plugins avail with Firefox but I don't like slowing down my browser with them anyway.
And yep I know less chance of viruses with Firefox but I have not had any security issues and I am online 24/7.
My 2 cents worth.
(Converted to todays currency = $15 worth! ) Cheers,

get rid of 10 and download 11.
IE7 not firefox.. us programmers really have no time for apple mac users, netscape users, etc.. etc.. we dont care about you.
We work in a commercial enviornment and supporting other browsers costs time.. so they are always an after thought.

I prefer firefox, but still use IE on the side...
Firefox does not have plugins to support the additional features of internet banking (financial portfolio management, etc). Also, the ATO business portal does not work on Firefox.
Media Player 11 is really good, but sometimes all these latest MP (including iTunes) shit me when they try to be too smart, and it takes a lot to stop it automatically changing shit that you don't want it to... Got it all going nicely, now, but it was painful ....
i use firefox... i can have all my favourite sites on tabs up the top... easy to click on and no stuffing around..
also seems faster than IE to load sites. New Page 1RegardGrantKing of Stealth Blingwww.blingpartsaustralia.com.au
7 does all that and more now... Cheers,

I took the plunge an hour ago and upgraded to IE7.
It appears to be a much quicker service to screen and has a nice clean look.
The other Windows updates are good too with the Anti Phishing and better security all round.

I'm not using it anyway!
I took the fishing off.
Thought it slowed things down.
And I felt sorry for the little fellas. Cheers,

WOW.
The new screen zoom feature (bottom right hand corner) works a treat for photos.
You can see the sharpness of the images and the blemishes that were invisible before.

I love the multi windows. I know Firefox was ding this since day 1.
And the way after you choose a favorite the panel hides automatically...cool Cheers,
