I hate Vista too. Seems that everyone with it brings their machine in to the shop here with nothing but complaints.
As for the IE7 vs. Firefox debate I personally have both and hate both. Some sites work better with one, and some the other, but even though Firefox is less buggy, I have had numerous occasions making online purchases where Firefox just doesn't work and I have to use IE7.
But yeah Vista, I am installing it on my machine as dual boot to learn it and to play DX10 games soon. I think I have the machine to do it, it's a 1.86GHz Core 2 Duo (Conroe) with 2GB dual Channel DDR2 667 Ram, and a GeForce 8800 320MB vidcard. Thing is it runs XP x64 lightening fast, but it should be barely adequate for Vista (bloatware).
My boss here at the shop will not build a Vista computer for someone unless the totally insist. We strongly suggest that our customers us XP for now and upgrade after Vista gets some improvements.

Smileys for what?
Hotmail is blocked at my work because its virus protection sucks balls.

Here they blocked all msn and microsoft stuff...to the point that we can't do updates.
That's what I call security!!! (and I'm not being sarcastic)

tell me about I talked to the guy who did it, and he said he hates microsoft, and it was on purpose, nevermind that, I said what Luis said about a patch disk being a linux CD, and they might do it.

Can't - I don't have administrative rights on the 'internet machine' (since I work for the defence force, we're not allowed the internet on our machines cos of the potential for security breaches).
I normally use safari on my home comp, but I also have firefox installed as well.

TONKS!
Adding the site to trusted sites does not work. Here's what does:
Open IE.
From the top menu, click on "Tools" and then on "Internet Options".
Click the "Security" tab.
Click the "Custom Level " button.
Scroll down to the "Miscellaneous" section.
Change "Display mixed content" to Enable.
Click the "OK" button.
You will see a pop-up that asks "Are you sure that you want to change the security settings for this zone?" Click "Yes".
Click the "OK" button.

I myself just got my first comp with XP on it. 2000 Pro has been so good to me for the past 7 years.
