I'm sure many people will mess it up. Just use Firefox with a set of useful extensions.

In fact, why not go the whole hog and use OpenOffice as well. If you are really keen, Linux. If you do want to try/use Linux, the simplest way is to use Wubi to install Ubuntu Linux as an application along side Windows. Dual boot without partition.

Hi,

I’m sure you meant the subject to say that you can’t go back to IE6, after installing SP 3 with IE7 in place.
