What I like most about this browser is that it's so fast! Like lightning ;P

It's not bad, couple of things though: - the font rendering kinda sucks - how do I get rid of the Fisher Price blue? Some colours actually cause me anxiety, that's one of them...the SeasSick™ blue/green of Vista is another one :)

That's the best thing about Vista!

And clicking with the mouse wheel doesn't get you in scroll-mode like in Firefox. But it's still in beta, things will hopefully improve.

...I might actually consider using Vista if they'd only let me change that at the beginning :) ...and of course, let me choose whether or not to fill all available memory with stuff I might not even use...

Oh man, yet another person (a developer no less) who doesn't understand how memory is used in Vista, allow me to enlighten you: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000688.html[^]

All right, buckwheat The primary mission in the life of every cache is to populate itself as quickly as possible with the data that's most likely to be needed ...so suppose I use: 3DS Max 2009 Adobe After Effects CS3 Adobe Photoshop CS3 Adobe Illustrator CS3 Adobe Premiere CS3 ...all kind've at the same time. If I have 2 gigs ram and any 2 of those with projects and files loaded fills it, and I spend all day going back and forth between them, and the system spends all this effort trying to second guess what I'm going to do next (and usually getting it wrong), then that's going to amount to some crappy performance while the hard disks overheat from guessing wrong...right? If all you use is Notepad and IE, like the article says, then *shrug*. "Although I am a total believer in the system-memory-as-cache religion, SuperFetch can still have some undesirable side effects. I first noticed that something was up when I fired up Battlefield 2 under Vista and joined a multiplayer game. Battlefield 2 is something of a memory hog; the game regularly uses a gigabyte of memory on large 64-player multiplayer maps. During the first few minutes of gameplay, I noticed that the system was a little sluggish, and the drive was running constantly." ...that's just one example of a video game. You get that day in and day out on software that you earn your living with and that's another story. That's a lot of time and frustration while the client is breathing down your neck wanting to see his stuff. Sometimes, if it loses me even 10 minutes out of a day, it's like 'forget it'. My bottom line is that it didn't need changing, it was working fine the way it was. When cache-ing all your apps only takes 20% of the system memory, then fine. "The less free memory I have, the better; every byte of memory should be actively working on my behalf at all times. However, I do wish there was a way to tell SuperFetch to ixnay on the oadinglay when I'm gaming." ...and anything else that takes lots of memory. Just let me turn it off if I want, 'kay? ;P ...oh, and let me change that beastly colour scheme at the beginning :)

You've got it backwards I think I've been using it day in and day out for exactly that purpose for almost 2 years now and it's much faster than with those features turned off. Don't take my word for it though, everyone should just try it for a couple of weeks at least and decide for themselves rather than speculating.
