Your software preferences
« on: September 21, 2007, 08:44:27 PM »
This thread is for you to post what software you prefer: browsers, email, OS, etc. Please provide a short explanation of why you prefer it, as well.

I'll start off:

1. Browser: Firefox. I've used it since version 1.0-ish, and I've loved it ever since. Way better than IE, it's safer and secure, and it's faster. I only use IE for the occasional website that refuses to cooperate with Fx.

2. Email: Outlook Express (XP machine). I may setup Windows Mail on my Vista laptop, but I haven't gotten a chance to.

3. Operating System: Windows Vista. I've had it for about a week now on my new laptop, and I really like it. It runs very fast and it's very stable. :yes: The UI is quite nice too. I have the Home Basic version, so I don't get to experience the Windows Aero interface, but still, the regular Vista interface is quite nice. B) I still use XP on my desktop PC whenever I'm not using the laptop.

What do YOU prefer?
