opening a second window results in a window with two task bars and no google to type into.

fragments of previous windows remain on the desktop.

That is odd. I am using Firefox 5 in Windows 7, having no problems. Seems to be working very good.

The only problem I’ve had with Firefox is it won’t import my Opera bookmarks. The motherboard power supply in my laptop died a couple of months ago and I got a bargain on a Lenovo at Best Buy.(Love it! And made sure it had an AMD processor. I put up with a piece of shit Celeron for years.) I had saved Opera bookmarks on a flash drive and was able to import them.

My major irritation with Win7 is Windows Explorer. I’m sure I’ll end up paying for Total Commander. I want to be able to see a damn directory tree.

Yes, same here. Firefox and Windows 7, and no problems.

And, I think the results of their “study” are really easy to explain: those with less intellectual curiosity don’t feel the need to understand and find the “best” ie system, especially if they have to go out of their way to do so; researching the options and how to install and individualize them. They just use what’s already on there. And, it’s almost always IE.
