Windows Vista

When Apple and M$ merge in 2059 we'll see who remains on top.

Pretty sure there is a government regulation that forces large companies like Apple and MS to stay independent and not become a monopoly. MS is already really close, but is constantly regulated by govt.

steve jobs would eat his own shit on stage at the next wwdc before he would ever even begin to consider merging with microsoft

[DoTheFandango]

Steve Jobs would be about equal to shit in 2058 considering he would be 103.

any of the above sound familier....All of these problems fixed by installing the old ie5 dlls. IE6 breaks windows 98. Having used this fix personally i can say windows 98 hasnt crashed once after installing it. So many problems disappear with this fix its scary.

I beg to differ. They may have broken some things intentionally and made things incompatible with 98, but didn't necessarilly change the performance.

I've had windows 98 for years (still do), before that I had windows 3.0. The major problems are downloading certain programs (made with XP) that destroy other programs required (like java in IE). The only other problem I encounter, because my main drive sucks, I always run out of memory and that crashes everything. But I've had IE 5.0 and changed to 6.0 and haven't seen much difference. Aside from that, what are you doing using IE, use FF ftw.

Vista poses no threat to the current OS', if anything, I doubt it will be super popular.

i can see that they jacked tabbed browsing from firefox in the new IE

And firefox jacked it from opera, no biggie.

[Mr. Peanuts]

but firefox still > all.

Opera is too shitty for it's own good.

I mean, Nintendo put it in the Wii. It's GOTTA suck.

Firefox has the iPimp skinz anyway, so -nt- Opera.

[Subjugation]

I tried Opera for a few weeks, but I came back to FF because it was just more intuitive. But the one thing I think is better about Opera is you can change the colors of any of the themes.

I would like to do add a blueish color to the Littlefox theme.

[Miku19]

How is opera less intuitive than firefox?

[Subjugation]

I can't really remember too many specific examples, because I haven't used Opera in months.

From what I remember, it was mostly about the interface. When I dl'd FF for the first time, I found it way easier to get used to than when I dl'd Opera for the first time. Plus, Firefox has better minimalist themes offering much more viewable space (example below).



Littlefox with the navigation and bookmark toolbars removed

[Miku19]

Opera has all that, and to be honest the hardest part about using both the browsers is finding the shortcut on your desktop.

Oh come on, whoever doesn't use Netscape 4.7 sucks!



lol just kidding. I still have this version of Netscape on my computer, it's totally better than the newer versions of Netscape.
