I use it and am very pleased with it!! love the tab browsing (press Ctrl+T and you get another browser page in the same window on tabs.)

Also came pre installed on my new dell laptop so they must like it too! its the way forward, IE's time is up imo!!

[M1TCH]

had no problems with my norton 3 month free trial, its just run out though so gotta go buy it tomorrow.

[beatjunkie]

really its slowed everything down, i kept getting stupid trojon worms or summit comming up so found the norton disc but computer is running slow now any ideas?

i got a really good deal, got a inspiron 6000 back in sept with very good memory think 1gb of ram so it can run architectural desktop a treat, upgraded the screen as well with better resolution and prosesser is good. 1.73 centrino i believe!got it for 700 notes was quite happy bearing in mind thats quite a while ago!

I went for the 9300, wanted the 17" as I use it at home the most. Take it to college as well and to mates etc. Got it in december, got the 1.73 aswell but didnt go for the screen upgrade, knowing it is a samsung screen was enough for me, I'd like to see if there is actually any visable difference though. Paid £859 with bluetooth, well impressed with dell cos it came 3 days early and they help me out with a wireless problem quickly.

Lost wireless but they sorted it on the phone, and it runs fine! Haven't tried using CAD on it yet but photoshop is ok!

Oh yeh it fits the widescreen nicely! firefox just takes a little longer to load up, but once its there its dead quick!

Was unsing IE6, then changed to Firefox... used it for anout 1 month and really liked it however ive started to prefer IE7 and have since removed firefox.

Security wise i used to run norton however now im running microsofts windows OneCare and Windows Defender (antispyware)

Love firefox, but not installed it yet on this pc after it's just got online. The extensions are very handy

what free software can I get then? just want the same as norton internet security.
