I have Firefox & like it. There are some sites that display better for me with IE. But I hate this thing right now. Locking & bogging. I almost wish I could give it back.

If I didn't have to use IE to download Microsoft's gazillion updates, I would remove it completely.

I just restored it back to earlier this afternoon before the installation. What a piece of junk!

We all know that but I'll wait until the final version of Firefox 2.0 arrives in circa seven days or so. I got burned by release candidate software once and don't want to do it again....

2.0 rc3 has been flawless so far.

There's a reason I'm holding off--I use several themes and extensions in Firefox 1.5.0.7 and given that I got burned with all those extensions/themes suddenly not working properly going from Firefox 1.0.7 to 1.5, I'll hold off for now.

I've never accepted installation of WGA. From the blurb screen right before installation of IE 7.0, MS says it's going to install what I think is WGA--although they don't actually say "WGA." Can you confirm this?
If so, I will never upgrade to 7.0. I'll just keep using 7.0 beta.
