I switched to Firefox last night. It works much faster than IE for me and no POP ups at all.

Welcome to FireFox!

FireFox, ThunderBird and Open Office.

It will import all your settings, but you'll need to buy more cookies :)

12 seconds

That is how long I expect the walls to last. Gates spends a billion (God knows how much of that was AO) but he has millios of attackers who take the new OS as a challenge.

Kind of like the end of the Matrix Trlogy without Neo to TCB outside of the miilleau.

Hey, me too. It's a fast lil bugger, ain't it? Firefox is cool also, but I like Opera best.

Those of you using Internet Explorer or Netscape might be interested in reading this.

Microsoft is the best and I'll be damned if I go anywhere else. I will stick with them until the day that I die. And then if I get to heaven, I'll keep on using Microsoft products. If I go to hell, it will be a moot issue because they will be running Mac and Unix boxes there and there will be absolutely nothing I can do about it because, after all, I'll be damned.

What does it do in those cases where the web site is trying to force a pop up window based on the user selection?

I dont knowww, I dropped IE a couple of months ago because of the barrage of spyware popup ads and all the junk that somehow would find its way to my puter. that and being worried about having my passwords swiped or something. I love MOZILLA!!! not one bit of spyware on my puter no popups its wonderful!!
Iwill of course download the SP2 but I may wait to hear how it works before venturing back to IE.

You can ctrl-click on the link to get a pop-up to display, or something like that.
