Currently I have PC running XP but I am waiting the delivery today of a new laptop with the operating system Windows Vista Ultimate Edition. Jumping ahead, past the set-up process and updates, it is my intention of downloading the latest edition of Firefox as this is something I have been using of late, and wish to continue. Is there anything anyone would like to advise at this stage please?.

    I'm running firefox on my Vista Ultimate computer and have had no problems with it at all.

    The only real problem I can see is getting used to Vista as there are a few differences between it and XP.

    I also run Avant Browser as well (which is based on internet explorer but with a few more security features and some changes which has speeded it up a little when loading pages).

    Another thing to make sure of is that any bookmarks you have on your old computer are transferred across (either make a written list or use a USB flash pen)

    In view of this, I hope you keep an eye open for PM's, as I may wish to pick your brains in the early stages (lol).
