I have Win XP and have been beta testing Firefox 4 at home. Works great. Win 2000 should be junked as any connection to the internet is putting your system at risk. It isn’t supported by Microsoft and hasn’t been updated in probably 8 years. Not worth using unless not connected to the internet.

However, be aware that the hardware acceleration under Windows XP is not as great as the hardware acceleration under Windows Vista or Windows 7, since Vista and 7 have far more modern display driver designs. On my home machine running the Intel GMA 3100 graphics chip under Windows Vista Home Premium SP2, the leap up in performance in Firefox 4.0 compared to Firefox 3.6.15 is huge.

I’ve got FireFox 4.0 working now with no problem on my XP machine.

My wife has the machine with 2000 and I can’t seem to talk her into switching to XP. She’s afraid of losing all her programs and settings. Even though I’ve assured her numerous times that she wouldn’t.

She can just use it as is. I’m not going to argue with her.

And she IS connected to the internet but so far, no problems with Trojans or viruses.
