Thanks for the replies. I refuse to upgrade until it is no longer avoidable.

In my opinion, it’s still avoidable. You can use other (arguably better) browsers.

Agreed Scythe. I run with FireFox.

I think Micro$oft’s support for XP runs out in 2014.

What will you do then ???
Stuck on XP and not able to move to a modern OS ???

Resistance is futile. ;D
Besides, Windows 7 is better than any of the previous versions. (By far!)

To be honest, I will probably install Ubuntu.

No man, Firefox 4 only have partial Hardware acceleration but Opera have full Hardware acceleration. Thats what I read somewhere although I don’t new what it means 100% LOL

Quote:

Our hardware acceleration is a bit different from what other browsers have implemented. Most of them do full hardware acceleration of all draw operations, but only on Windows Vista and Windows 7 - dropping to a more limited set of accelerated draw operations on other platforms. Our implementation will feature full acceleration on any OS with sufficient hardware support. This means we can also use fully hardware accelerated draw operations on Windows XP, Linux, Mac OS X and OpenGL ES 2 capable devices such as recent smart-phones and web-enabled TVs.

I wonder if the status quo has changed with regards to Firefox 4
