    Luckily for me I have a 5 gig quadcore running in my laptop so no problem for me to run it :)
    I have a 4gig pentcore, so does that mean I'll be O.K. (as long as I disable screensaver). :D

    Be VERY wary about this. It is not a Microsoft site or product:-

    Maybe a google search before a whois would be more productive. http://www.theinquirer.net/en/inquirer/news/2006/11/09/microsofts-firefox-revealed

    Can't believe that I now have to post explanations to jokes. What is the world coming to? :confused:

    It's worrying, innit?

    The instinctive response isn't to say "hang on, this is a joke", it's to whois the domain and warn people that all is not as it seems.

    Unless the joke's on us and fitshase was doing a masterful double bluff?

    I know it is a joke as it has been around for quite a while!;)

    However, I just thought I'd put a warning on it in case there are any newbies on here who think they can have the best of both worlds with the software and then download it.

    Most people (normally the ones who open dodgy e-mail attachments) don't read a site properly and I'm normally the one who ends up trying to fix their computers when they do stupid things!:rolleyes:

    Of course you did. ;) I mean obviously since you already knew it was a joke site you wouldn't say something like "It seems to be trying too hard to portray itself as a Microsoft site ". ;)

    Gosh some people seem to have lost their sense of humour today. Just read the text it's pretty obvious it's a spoof site. :rolleyes:.
    superscaper,

    I thought it looked familiar, here's a link I posted last year to an earlier version.

    http://www.msfirefox.com/firefox-full-features.html

    THIS IS A SPOOF SITE!(Just in case).
    Move along, nothing to see.
