   I've used nothing (for 99% of my browsing) but Netscape, then Mozilla   
   Foundation browsers--Mozilla, FF, SeaMonkey.  I use FF bare (no plugins)   
   in Vista, XP Pro, and Home, and have no problems per se.  However, some   
   sites STILL do not render as they do in IE7.  I realize there are   
   plugins for FF that emulate the active scripting of IE, but I prefer to   
   run bare.  When I hit one of those sites, I either skip it, or go over   
   to IE JUST for that site.   
      
   Remember, however----YMMV!
