I am a Lenovo/IBM lead technician. I often install Firefox for users that seem to be advanced browswers and hang out in all the wrong places.
The new V.2 of Firefox was designed by open source people to accomodate both XP ( NTFS Platform ) and Apple OSX and Linux ( Mandrake or Red Hat ) Users.
This browser has caused serious conflicts with certain antivirus GUI's
namely " PC-Cillin " and " PandaVirus Platinum " yet, by a source of Linux based writers. (Hmmm)
When you install the newer service packs IE7, and ect ect, you will create conflicts that make your PC run like you have spywarez or .exe Trojans. Mouse lockup. slow everything......... stick with you old stuff for now or revert to what you had.
MS-VISTA is a ripoff media edition of OSX ( and I hate apple pc's )
stick with your current working O/S..... and browsers.
if you have any questions by all means PM me ..... i am happy top share the news that we get 6 week in advance of the public on new releases of GUI's
Another stay away is Nero 7 . has a bunch of really cool tools. Too bad it crashes/freezes every other time.
Also be careful with updating your Ofiice XP Pro with the 2007 Student/Teacher edition cause you think your getting newer .... your gettin a new skin with about 20 new fonts, new skins, a newer 'looking' GUI and HALF the functionality.
I fix on average 10-20 IBM laptops per day and about the same in Desktops with all major brands on the desktops. At Lenovo we specialize in Lappyz
ask me anything and I'll give you the latest hardcore TRUTH.
