Even though Windows Vista Service Pack 1 was finally released and made available for download 2 months ago, I didn't immediately update my Windows Vista installation. Why? Because I wasn't excited and neither was I looking forward to it.

Even though Firefox is slowly but surely gaining market share and popularity, the majority of Internet users still prefer or use the Internet Explorer.I have been a Firefox user and avid fan for many years now and started using it since it was called Firebird. Why do I prefer Firefox? Because of it's security, speed and most of all because of it's flexibility.
