Great beta release, can't wait for 1.0 to come out. Too bad the masses out there don't know what a sweet browser Firefox is-much better then Netscape7 by far. Currently I use Netscape6 to avoid the nefarious problems that IE6 offers. And, no, I don't want to lock down my browser to the point where text is the only option.

Just my 10 cents worth...

I remember with 9x that if you even opened the network folder...and then left (without doing anything) it asked you to reboot.

I remember with 9.x & NT if you even looked at the stupid thing the wrong way, it would ask for a reboot.

Never tried WinME

W2K was much better

And if you do something in XP that requires a reboot, chances 2003 server will require it also. In every one of the MS classes I've taken I've been told that XP-Pro is the workstation version of 2003 server]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10687980 Sun, 04 Jul 2004 15:46:05 EDT Re: Should have done it from the start... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10686732 CO_Chris : I just found out that Firefox 0.9 doesn't allow some sites through the pop-up blocker, even though they are on the allowed list. This is not exactly a fatal flaw, but when you add in the web sites (relatively few) that don't display properly, most people will stick with IE. Why trade a headache for an upset stomach? I don't think Bill needs to worry about his stock price too much.

you got to be kidding right? I will never go back to IE for the S%$%^T that MS makes . Firefox0.9.1 has been the best yet and all we have to look forward to is it getting better. I tell people every day do dump IE and for the most part 75% do and by far the Norm Best Buy shopper dont have a clue about how the internet works or what they need. I see it every day

I see people ask what's a firewall?
Do i really need Antivirus whats that do for me??
what is spam is that why i get all the pop ups? and if so how can i stop that? will spam blocker work?

just the Norm ??? i get every day ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10686732 Sun, 04 Jul 2004 12:04:37 EDT Re: Should have done it from the start... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10686581 JimF : I just found out that Firefox 0.9 doesn't allow some sites through the pop-up blocker, even though they are on the allowed list.

They should have locked it down sufficiently from the start.

Microsoft did just that with Windows Server 2003. You have to explicitly enable each Internet-related service. The only thing I don't like is that you still need to reboot the OS after doing certain patches. That kind of downtime is unacceptable in a production environment. Oh well, serves you right for going with such an OS.

But they got hit anyway. And instead of being proactive, they have been reactive for years. I don't think they will recover from the bad PR.
