For a while it looked as if Mozilla’s Firefox browser was destined to become a huge threat to Internet Explorer in the web browser wars. Firefox has continued to slowly but steadily eat away at IE’s market share, and for good reason. In many ways it was just a better overall browser than IE 5 or 6. Enter Internet Explorer 7. With many of the same features that helped spark Firefox’s popularity as well as its intimate coupling with the Windows Vista operating system, Microsoft’s newest browser offering has raised doubts as to whether Mozilla’s market share can continue to grow at its current rate.
Both of these browsers have their own respective appeal and deciding which one may be right for you can prove to be a daunting task. This article attempts to make things a little easier for you when decision time arrives.

The new Firefox looks and feels like home. Think of it as a Firefox who’s really good at making friends. Whether you use Windows Vista, Windows XP, Mac or Linux, the browser seamlessly integrates into your computer’s environment. A native look makes for a flawless interface that never gives you pause.

I little bit off topic this, but having swapped to Vista on my main desktop a few months ago one of the many frustrations I have had is not being able to re-order the taskbar items. I do tend to be somewhat anal about this, on occasions even restarting a program so that I can have it in it’s “normal” place on the taskbar.
I read a review in PCpro last night that lead me towards a little utility called Taskbar Shuffle, I now have one less thing to be anal about
