Dude you're even brining up IE? I love how reviews of W7 I have read  
basically skip over it and don't even bother to review it :) They do  
document the one time they use it to dl firefox.

Speaking of 7 it's pretty nice I think - If only I could use Ubuntu as  
my main OS, I think that has the best of all worlds really.

Chrome is bla but I like it better than FF :) - while I do have  
android on my phone now I really hope the future does not become a  
world of google software - I get what they are doing but higher some  
fucking graphic designers already :)

RIght opera used to cost money? anyway its free and it's really cool,  
at at least on mac, I like the thumbnail image tabs.

web based email apps are lame imo I just cant get down with gmail fully.

though I was able to plug it into OSX and use it to sync my contacts/ 
calendars stuff with my droid pretty easily.

I used to use thunderbird a lot and I always hated it :)
