| Why not, IE 7 sucks. Try this experiment; check your memory usage with IE 7 with 5 tabs open to graphically intense websites, then check the usage to those same 5 sites using Opera or Firefox. IE 7 will almost double the expense of RAM.
Do you feel the same about XP or are you now touting Vista?

Think of 6=>7 as it would be XP=>Vista.
You upgraded to 6.  |

No browsing...no bugs I guess!

This is no meme.. Vista does stink for the most part.
Its basically a OS with 100 security checks on every click that slows down the entire computer to a miserable level. Installing Vista on any PC will basically needlessly double the response time on simple programs and worse on more complex ones.
I will stick with XP as long as I can. |

IE7 does not work on Win98SE, so I still have to run IE6. Well update to at least XP dummy. Less than 1% still use that. I don't how anyone does anything these days with Win98 |

I don't how anyone does anything these days with Win98 My backup computer/kids computer runs win 98SE just fine. The thing there is it's running old hardware and old software. Everything works fine and in the case of my ATI AIW it's works better. |
