Is anyone else finding this latest update of Firefox to be more
similar to a demolition derby than a browser.
It's crashing every time it's opened on my machines. Vista Home

Now you are being silly just to prove a point. Most people do not dual
boot and may who try find themselves in a world of pain.

Precisely. Apple knows that some drivers won't work right with the 64

Not sure why you're flailing on this. Mac OS 10.6, Snow Leopard, can be
set to load 64-bit, every time, if desired, or left to the default, to
load the 32-bit kernel. Windows users must install one or the other.
This is not a huge difference. Why split hairs? I like Apple's
