As for IE7.. Firefox ftw!!
Haha, things suck until a service pack? Hmmm.. I'd disagree with you on that one, I was using XP from the early betas and always liked it...
As for microsoft blowing the big one... where would computers be today without them? Has anybody else done it better?
Firefox FTL...

Using it at work and really like it.....
Firefox had its moment and will prob again some day, if not some other browser, but IE7 is fairy user friendly and cleaned up a lot over past versions and compared to the competition.
For some applications at work I cannot use Firefox as it is not compatible with some of the features I need, so IE was necessary.
No more right click new tab either.....

Exactly. Mac probably did it better, but by then it was too late to change the entire business standard. I liked XP so much better than the previous releases of Windows. I can actually count the number of crashes on one hand for the entire ownership of XP. Who cares if Microsoft has a monopoly, when someone else does it better across the board, there will be natural progression to it.

Objectively i still don't think Apple did it better then Microsoft all else equal...Now THAT is gosphel.
What do I know. I've only used windows based pc's other than the old school and I mean old school apple IIc's back when I was in 6th grade.

according to the Tyco Int'l tech support team:
"The installation of Internet Explorer 7 software, will be considered a violation of the computer usage policy set forth by SimplexGrinnell and Tyco Fire & Security which may result in termination of employment." Yet they don't care that I have engine management software on my rig..
This is because the test batch they did last week (1000 computers, mine being one of them) resulted in several non-recoverable crashes that required a clean install of XP to correct, one computer in our office wouldn't even boot into safemode after this was implemented so a LOT of data would have been lost had it not been backed up prior to the install. This was on Dell computers (D610's and various desktop machines.)
Pretty sure I'm not going to be putting that back on my personal computer in the near future.
