I downloaded Firefox (because I am a sheep!). Can someone tell me what's so exciting about tabbed browsing? I can't see how it's any different from having multiple windows open, but they seem so very excited about it.

I think you want to poke around on the Firefox site and look at the plugins that enhance tabbed browsing. Also, your experience with window clustering in XP is way better than mine for some reason; at work, I can have six MSN conversations going on and five IE windows open (shut up, they're totally for work) and they don't always group the way they're supposed to. With tabbed browsing in FF it's guaranteed.

Other things I like about Firefox: my kittycat icons and speed (at work, it seems to be less of a system hog than IE; at home, that's not always the case for some reason).

I have noticed that it's slower with the loading, especially with graphics, but not so much that it matters.

I mean, I like it, and I've been using it all week, I just have yet to feel the miraculousness.

I doubt you will. It's a good program, basta. Remember that a lot of computer things -- programs, OS, chip preferences -- are basically religion.

Personally, since our protections at work are not that hot, the miracle is being able to surf at all without ending up with an infected computer. :p
