nilotpal_c No, at least not in the near future. First, Windows XP, gets all the work done, and is very familiar. It is secure if users are security conscious (though not as much as Linux). It is quite stable. And you have software support and hardware support you can...

nilotpal_c Depends on what you really want: If you want plenty of features right out of the box, with speed and security, it is undoubtedly opera. On the other hand, if you do not mind customizing a browser from its bare bones, and can do without outright speed and know...
