As someone who uses Windows Vista practically daily, I've always wondered where all the negativity in the media comes from. Sure, Vista isn't perfect (as if any operating system is), but I just don't see where all the complaints are coming from. It runs just fine on my old (6 years) machine, all my software and hardware is compatible, and it's stable as a rock. Microsoft has been wondering the same thing, and after a little test, they may have found out why people seem to dislike Vista so much.

FF3 fixed some of the most glaring of bugs in the browser, but there is absolutely nothing the least bit revolutionary in it, which is how it was billed. Like it or not, IE has a more innovative interface then firefox, Opera has a huge laundry list of innovative features that firefox doesn't have, and Safari has an incredibly clean code base and very fast rendering.
FF has above average javascript support and its plugins, but the plugins in general are very poorly written, which makes the already bloated and buggy app consume even more memory and become less stable. That leaves the javascript, which doesn't even really matter unless you are using objective-j or sproutcore apps every day.
