I pretty much use Chrome now for my work laptop (in house apps I use IE where they work best). For my home mac box I use firefox.

Another vote for Chrome. I've been using it since they first announced the beta more than a year ago. It's great. I've had only a hand full of pages not render correctly in Chrome.

My bank's pages don't render correctly in Chrome. Though, this is the same bank that won't allow "special characters" in there newly mandated "strong" passwords.

I'm a longtime Opera fan, but the last couple of releases (10.00 and 10.01) are both flaky as hell. I actually have considered going back to the Opera 10.00 beta 2 because that was the most solid I've ever seen Opera for Linux.

I've gotten so tired of random wackiness in 10.01 today that I've gone back to Firefox, and Firefox bugs me after only an hour or two most of the time.

I'm still on Opera 9.64.

Maybe I'll just stay there.

Well, to be fair, I'm only talking about the Linux version. I have no idea if the Windows version has those same problems.

I'll let you know.

It has some kind of fawncy file-sharing thingy my son's all excited aboot (he said, cleverly and inexplicably mixing eastend and canoodian accents).

Demosthenes · « **Reply #57 on:** November 06, 2009, 01:03:09 PM »

Ah yes. Opera has had a no-frills Bittorrent client built into it for a while now (since v9.26, I think?).

I tried using that client. it tends to stick at 99%

I've had that problem too on occasion. I've found that a browser restart when it hits that usually clears it up.

I'm not sure what changed, but one of the updates that Windows 7 did made it more stable for me. I haven't had a crash in a couple of weeks.

It's been about 3 to 4 months since I upgraded, and I still have yet to have any major issues. In fact, I don't recall having it lock up on me once. I was running a buggy piece of software that was somewhat dated, and when I threw that out of the equation, Windows 7 has been great. It's probably been a good month since my computer's last restart, and it runs just as if it were to have been rebooted five minutes ago.

Has anyone else had the same luck as me?

BizB · « **Reply #62 on:** January 19, 2010, 01:07:06 PM »

Whatever it was that was causing my BSODs has been fixed by automatic updates. My PC has been running smooth and fast for months. I'm really happy w/7.

I was gardening one day and had an idea: an MS operating system that doesn't crash all the time.

So yeah...Windows 7 was my idea.

at the risk of sounding like a moron, how exactly did the interface work in pre-95 windows? cause in all the screenshots the bottom of the screen is empty. the first computer i ever had ran 95, so yeah.

No taskbar; everything was on the desktop in Program Groups. "Windows Explorer" was more aptly called "File Manager".

Clear_Runway · « **Reply #68 on:** February 11, 2010, 12:17:14 PM »

"program groups"?

12AX7 · « **Reply #69 on:** February 11, 2010, 01:22:10 PM »

Start>Programs ...those are Program Groups. They didnt used to be in a menu. They were either on the desktop itself; or all grouped in one 'master' group called Program Groups (!); which was on the desktop. Basically just a desktop folder.

Clear_Runway · « **Reply #70 on:** February 11, 2010, 01:31:23 PM »

...so what if your "desktop" folder got messed up? or some idiot deleted all the icons?

that wasn't helpful. i was asking here because Google couldn't supply a satisfactory answer.

Have you ever used a Mac?
