Using several slow computers lately (P3 450 to P4 1.4ghz) i have to say this takes almost no cpu power compared to all others.
Finds all virus i have been stupid to download and have no problem at all with it.
Awesome!

Simply the best no matter what lame excuse they are trying to fool you with.

Yes beware of the cops when they knock on your door and take you to the station because you played an movie with an illegal codec or whatever.
Be VERY afraid of that *shaking*

V3 is slowly starting to act more and more like iexplorer.
V3 got horrible bugs and you can see that on many many users reporting that its a memory hog with up to 100meg used RAM.
It sometimes cant kill its thread and stays active in background without notice to the user and makes your OS pretty slow without the user haveing any idea what is wrong.
Its becoming the target for more and more virus and script writers as its getting used by alot more people so that is the new target.
And its far from fast any more.
V2 was ok to use and i have no complains at all.
But tabbed browsing i have to call Opera cuz firefox in standard mode does not use tabs very good but opens up the program instead and that demand RAM.
For new computers this is not a big problem but it is still a problem that is not solved yet and does not seem to be solved either.
Kill of V3 and continue V2 as that one was on right track.
Opera is ALOT better if you give it 1 day or 2 and i can promise you that you wont switch back again.

Ahh i hope they continue v2 as v3 made me go over to Opera (found it much better. when you try it for 1 day or 2)
I have had several computers and on everyone since the birth of V3 i get a bug where firefox is still running in the background after i closed it down.
I have seen it on my brothers computer also.
Its no small bug cuz its sitting in the background and eating ~50 meg ram and consuming alot of cpu time.
I never ever had that on V2 and i dont use ANY addon or such for V3.
But after trying opera it was like when i switch from explorer to firefox, it was so much easier to browse the web.
Firefox dont even use the so called tabs when you start it.
In opera you only use 1 window with tabs so its alot nicer to your RAM and it feels alot faster everything i do in it.

Sure i can post a response o to the people that i talked about in my reply.
But that would be very many of the same post and would mess up this very non offtopic post field and kinda ruin the idea to have this "comment on article" totally.
But keep on, continue your comment thats are very close to the subject of the article.

You should let your friend install windows and find the right drivers for your computer instead of you doing it, seems like you dont know what you are doing.

I never been reading the articles here before.
But i sure have never seen so stupid replies ever in my life to this article.
Here we talk about a low cost laptop that barely runs dos i guess and you guys get upset how stupid MS is that they want to run "old" XP on it.
I have to ask, who is stupid here ??
MS trying to build an OS that runs on this very slow computer or..
You guys that think they should run VISTA on it instead HAHAHAHA
Thats really the best answer i seen how to make a low cost computer run an OS with yet good performance!!
You guys should be running MS instead of the people that work there, then microsoft would have lasted 20 days and been no more.
And the ones that dont understand why Office and such are good for their future have never been on an office or any place that at all where they use computers on daily bases.
I really have to check some other articles here, im sure im gonna have a good time reading about how you guys solves problems and your comments on other programs/hardwares.
You get 10/10 points for really good entertainment!
