IE 6 on two systems. IE 7 on one system.
im not a fan of ie 7 bill gates did his stuff once again and its the same interface as firefox
Big fan of FireFox. Only run into a few things that won't function in Firefox. I do a lot of FTP and I like their free FTP add on.
Safari 2.0.4 for day-to-day "utility" stuff, but Firefox 2.0.0.3 for anything that doesn't work right w/ Safari
edited to add this observation...... I notice that you have seperate category for Mozilla and for Firefox, CLAREGO, but my FireFox browser info says 'Mozilla Firefox"....are they one and the same or two different browsers????
sure http://www.mozilla.org/releases it is a sun project i think its buggy on windows
To give an answer to Kummok's question, there was something of a 'turf war' within the mozilla.org orginazation as to the size to which the Mozilla browser suite was growing. Also there were legal ties to Netscape. They split out the browser in 2003 and made it standalone (FireFox). They also split out the email client and made it standalone (Thunderbird). They still produce the Mozilla suite, though I don't know for how much longer.
hey you learn something new everyday
IE 7 from bill's upgrade download page ;D works ok for us ;)
no problem with Mr. gates just he is a mastermind but as soon as an open source project takes control on something he seems to copy it.

I thought that was the idea behind open source... to take it, improve on it / add-on to it and to utilize it.
yeah that is true olds. gott me on that. if his os's were so special why does he make the consumer pay so much for his product.

Well that is something you will have to ask him. For that matter Mac's OS is not cheap either.
ageee on that
Don't forget, there's always Linux. Nowadays, it's definitely worth a look!
yeah i like ubuntu
I only fire up my windows machine once a month to get the security updates. The rest of the time I'm on Linux.

You all will find this funny...
My personal drive is set up with IE 7. However, my business drive is set up with IE 6 -- this is due to the fact that if I wish to bill the AirForce for my services WAWF does not support 7 on XP!!! Only on Vista...
Changing to Vista does not interest me... I can see it now. New color laser printer, (not cheap) new scanner (sorta cheap) change over much of my software to 64 bit (very expensive) etc. etc. etc... Plus my data base is so huge and some of it is over 9 years old. The idea of changing it over is of no interest at all. Nope I will stay with XP on my business drive until they stop supporting it.
I hear ya Raye!
I have 7 systems at the office and 2 more at home. All XP right now and hopefully for some time. I hate the thoughts of all the compatibility issues with Vista.

yeah as a teke i see that everywhere. but not only that vista like all windows in general is a memory hog. Most businesses are not switching yet and as a tek I will not switch till a service pack comes out. I recently just refurbished an acer with 512 memory and a 2.0 Intel dual processor for my mom. Well one thing that is cool with vista it remembers what you do so the more you use it the better it gets plus adding 2 gigs of flash memory did do the trick but my p3 with xp home and 192mb (laptop) of memory still is more stable
