firefox blows, nix is ok since i use it everyday now I see its purpose but never for a home OS… nix will never be in the homes as a major OS. microsoft is making a nix type OS as we speak i can guarantee that, microsoft will own your computers for the rest of your life. ---

its not really much a battle at all, if the nix people all came together and made one kick ass distro for home users and for server use then maybe they would have a chance beating Microsoft. until then, microsoft OS will be my choice ---

my IE wouldn’t work right. it would lock up after watching vids or viewing a pic. and the fan was running wideopen all the time, but there was nothing running. so wifey loaded firefox and all is better. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/firefox-bandwagon/172255.md?page=2)
