I like Opera and it seems like it could be more productive but I've been using IE so long and I really have no complaints for IE 6... that I'm going to go back to IE

But I will use Opera for a few more days so I may change my mind. Oh BTW, if you haven't tried it already, try the new 7.2 beta, I think its the most worthy competitor of Internet Explorer.

have they corrected it so that it doesn't take all your ram to run it?

I tried it, didn't like it.

does that even have any vocals in it? i dont remeber any in it

No, as far as I can remember, it doesn't. It's really more of a loud, furious song. It's pretty good though.

Its taking 28mb of my 512mb RAM, which may be a little high, I'm not sure, but I think its definetly worth it! I find this to still have a few bugs, it is beta, but its great! I reccomend trying the 7.2 beta
 

I'm using opera right now.

It has stability issues and the mail support SUCKS BALLS.

But it's more fully featured than IE. Although, I still have to use IE for various sites that I use for work.

I tried Mozilla and the Firebird version, both are fast, but my problem with them is compatibility with websites.

I played the viola part of it, and no, it's strictly orchestral. The entire suite is vocal-less.

Why is firebird so ugly. And i've downloaded 15 skins for it already.

I have licenses for the Windows, Mac, and Linux versions (free for web developers) but I really only use it on my Windows machine. Linux I'm not on enough to justify having much more than Konqueror, and the Mac has Safari which has taken the best parts of Opera with none of the cruft and given it away for free.
