I’m honored your visiting my site by the way. I’m eagerly awaiting class.
I love open source software as well, but as a professional software and web developer I have respect for the direction that IE took the browser (internals). Currently I feel it is at least half a generation behind firefox. I am a firm believer that competition is a good thing and that it will lead to better products from both communities (commerical and open source).
I am excited at the next generation of browsers opening up new possibilities for developers… though I am cringing having to deal with developing for both audiences.
Am I the only person who had such problems w/ Firefox? I had to uninstall both Firefox and Thunderbird from my comp. entirely as they caused too many problems. I like that Mozilla though — that’s what I went back to, along with MSIE.
Nope, I never had too much of a problem with firefox… have you tried it lately? If you just try the latest firefox download alone it should work ok for you.

very true, very true!
we’ll just have to wait to see IE7 to see the true competition begin

If we believe pre-release reviews of the WIE7, it simply isn’t all that… and there is a matter of principle in using open source…

It was patched the next day. You don’t even need to download a new version, you can toggle a setting.
