    As a Firefox user, choose between Firefox and Vista?

    Just another reason to stick to the Linux learning curve.

    Mozilla mentions it on Firefox 2.0.0.1 release notes :

    Firefox can not yet be set as the default browser on Vista. See this bug for more information.

    Why should I try Windows Vista when I have a great OS ( Fedora core 6) .

    For me hacking is living and as you know that Windows is an anti-hacking OS

    that's why I hate windows and I use Linux at least with Linux I can feel the

    security and I can't meet VIRUS

    From the bugzilla entry, it looks like it was a small problem with Firefox, but that's it's been fixed.
