While you and blahbooboo probably won't agree, I, for one, consider noscript to be the "adblock" for firefox.
Uh, isn't AdBlock the AdBlock of Firefox?

Or rather IE8 May Be End of the Line for Trident
And one would certainly hope so, given what crap you have to deal with when designing web pages, just because IE doesn't do anything right.

I agree. When I create web sites I test that they work in Firefox, Safari, and Opera (and yes, IE, when I feel up to it) and I always check that they validate as proper XHTML.

Windows Vista: BAD? (Initially had bad driver support, still has 'ridiculous' hardware requirements. Although 64-bit version has better driver support than XP-64... and it runs really really awesome with a DX10 GPU, Core 2 CPU, 4GB+ RAM)
I have a Core 2 Duo (and not a lower end one either), a DX10 graphics card (mid range), and 4GB of 800MHz DDR2 and yet Vista manages to be painfully slow a lot of the time.
Not to mention the 5-10 minute start up time (measured up to a usable system).

I think the choice was obvious — after all, that's the distro Michael Dell is using on his laptop.According to Desktop Linux, Dell will ship three models, an e-series "Essential" Dimension desktop, an XPS desktop, and an e-series Inspiron laptop. The desktop models range from $400 (headless) to $900 and the laptop from $900 to $1150.
