It really pisses me off cuz most of them were plenty good for the occasional use I gave them, and there is no way Im buying all of the new versions of them so I'm kinda screwed. I just bought a copy of XP pro to throw a dual boot on this thing. Probably wind up running the XP boot most of the time. Vista doesn't seem to give me any benefit.
Anyway... that was a bit of an off topic ramble. Sorry.
My actual point was, I was having problems with IE on this new machine. It would freeze up sometimes when it was trying to pop up open a new window and the only way to get back browsing again was to shut the whole IE program down and then go back in and try and find where you were. A few days ago I installed firefox and have not had any issues since. So another vote for firefox here.

Firefox has glitches every now and then, but FAR FAR FAR less than IE. You might wanna try Opera. Its probably the most stable of the 3. Just doesn't have as many add-ons.
