I've been running Vista on my production environment for 6 months now and no major issues. I like it a lot. To each their own, I guess.

I havent used Opera at all in years. Is it really that good??

I downloaded safari for windows but its so much slower than firefox so I never use it.

Also does anyone here use the tab mix plus addon for firefox? It doesnt seem to be working with FF3

Yes!

The biggest issue I have with Opera is users "accidentally" using bittorrent through it. We had a guy downloading legal programs, but our bandwidth going off the chart. As a network guy, you are never happy to see large changes in average traffic, and I had to do the work to figure out what was going on (happened from 5pm until 8am every day). Found out he was downloading some sort of comic strip on the internet and it used bittorrent through Opera. Was not cool... gives someone who works for a web hosting company a lot of heartache.

That is changed in Opera 9.5. You now have to tell Opera explicitly you want to use it for BitTorrent. Default is to save the file.

Is there any kind of adblock for opera? Im using it right now but Ive been using firefox for so long Ive lost the ability to deal with ads.

Yes, but it's a little crude.

Firefox 2 was faster that Firefox 3 on my computer. I'm using Windows XP. I tried Linux, and the only thing that I didn't like about it was that a lot of things only work with Windows.
I couldn't use Turbo Tax Online with Linux. And I never was able to figure out how to install things on Linux.

*cough*youporn*cough* wont play in Opera

Install IE4Linux for fucktards like Turbo Tax who refuse to let anything but IE work.

Out of pure curiosity how is the Computer version of Opera? My Wii uses a version of Opera as its internet browser. It limited because of it being on the Wii...but it works pretty good aside from Adobe not letting them get some Flash add ons to the Wii version for viewing some videos. And I know a video game console browser won't have anywhere near the complexity of a computer one.
