    Both Firefox and Google chrome runs slow and with alot of unnecessary loading time, it seems like IE (8?) is the most reliable here. And even it is unpleasnt to use. Any ideas around this? It would be nice to get firefox or chrome to work. Thanks in advance for any response to this topic ^^

    Chrome runs faster in 7 than it does in XP(for me, at least). Faster than IE8... And unlike in XP, it actually uses the system scheme, and doesn't look the odd man out...my 2 cents.

    Opera has been pretty nice to me so far.

    Firefox runs fine on Windows 7, using it on Win7 to type this right now. It runs great, fast, and uses just 50MB of RAM for me. IDK why it wouldn't work for you.

    Was using opera on 6801 because IE8 was f*cked. Kept forgetting i had done the setup thing which got really annoying. Only used 7000 for a bit so I would say IE on tht.

    In win 7, IE 8 does not let me scroll down untill it has finished downloading pages. And it stops responding during simple tasks as pushing buttons or whatever.
    BTW: What does the colored tabs mean?
