RE: NOTICE: Firefox users...

Scott,

Double NOTICE for Vista users.

Do NOT *ever* install Firefox and Vista will never experience conflicts.

The best method for preventing user induced troubles and conflicts while
using Windows Vista; keep that in-secure nightly-build crap as Firefox far
away from Vista.

What you have factually accomplished; corrupted and polluted our worlds most
state-of-the-art OS, Vista.

Question for you; would you install Yugo parts inside a new Rolls Royce and
then complain how the new Rolls Royce no longer properly functions?

Windows Vista
Become Part of The Legacy!
