Firefox & IE7
Sunday, October 22nd, 2006 | Tech News | Comments Off
With the impending releases of Internet Explorer 7, I would like to remind my readers that there is another option. In fact there are two other options that would be a good choice as a primary browser, Firefox and Opera . Personally I prefer Firefox to Opera, the bias is purely subjective. I just like how Firefox does things and I like the the user interface. There is nothing wrong with Opera, its just not for me. With that being said, Firefox is set to release its latest version late this month. You don't have to wait for 2.0 to come out, the latest stable release 1.5.07 is available and I urge you to at least give it a spin. Check out TweakGuides.com to learn how to optimize you new copy of Firefox.
In related IE7 news, Microsoft will be pushing IE7 via Windows Update as a high priority update, but will be an optional update. There have already been a few concerns over possible exploits, but one thing is for sure, this update will be worth the time to download it. Until website developers stop designing sites to use activeX there will always be a need to keep a IE around. It may as well be a more secure version than the porous IE6.
Windows Live Writer

Today I am writing to you from my test install of Microsoft Windows Vista RC1 Build 5600 and Windows Live Writer Beta. I have been using Vista for about a week and so far so good. The Aero Glass interface is quite beautiful and I do like some of the security enhancements that have been made, but others have written about Vista so I will leave the critique to them.
