fyi
Thank you!
Sounds like more bloatware.
If you were to count the lost productivity in trying to get Office 2007 to do even the simplest things and Vista to do anything at all, it is probably in the millions of man hours — not counting the time waiting for that crap to load, much less do something.
Isn’t Chrome a data mining tool for Google?
Chrome is by far the worst browser I ever used.
I have Vista on my laptop, and I have not had even one problem.
There were problems in the beginning, but now? I think not.
You couldn’t pay me to use an msoft browser.
haha...Chrome.
I totally uninstalled Firefox an hour ago and reinstalled it. It had been crashing 4-5 times a day for the past few months. Not sure why.
You could turn off that feature at any time.
Click Tools->Internet Options->Advanced
Then remove the check mark by inline autocomplete
Vista has a lot of bugs still — I have it on one of our laptops and our desktop.
Bloatware.
Strange -- it has been solid as a rock for me for years.
What are the thoughts on Mozilla in FR land?
No argument that it is bloated. That is what MS specializes in. However, the notion that it is a feeble OS is simply a myth which was started (rightfully so) when it came out, but has not abated even though Vista now runs near flawlessly.
I like Mozilla, but I still use IE 99% of the time. When MS finally gets something right, it is hard to beat em, as has been the case with IE.
MS had the best thing in the world on its side: 10 years of users being trained in their product and nobody else's. So what do they do? Change it completely! Brilliant! I can't count the times I've been in a meeting going over a document with someone using Office 2007 and them saying "Umm, I can't find the Bold button anymore" and sitting there while we go through multiple menus to figure out that what used to be a single click is now three or four (after you figure out how to do it). A room full of people .... looking for a button ... that used to be on the main tool bar. How much did that cost?
Yes. Chrome is Google spyware.
Re: You couldnt pay me to use an msoft browser.
Try Chrome if you want endless crashes.
IE is very stable, even compared to Firefox.
I gave up on IE a year ago and went to Firefox. However i agree with the post above that mine has been crashing a lot lately. I am not ready to abandon it yet.
