I have been struggling with this issue for nearly a month.
1. It is only a problem on my XP SP3 machines which also have less
memory and slower cpu. I have no problem on newer, faster machines

Think about it.
think about Linux
If you like to be a geek :-)
No need to be a geek despite my geeky instructions to lxuser in
m.s.firefox.
I can give you the GUI instructions if interested.
More like need to not be using any real world applications and be less
productive with the simpler Linux equivalent of the others.
90% of the applications I need to use every day for work have no Linux
equivalent. For home use I could pretty much move to Linux but not even
close for work. I would still have to run some sort of PC OS.
Linux just does not have industry recognized business applications,
electrical engineering applications, CAD apps, PCB layout apps or
targeted embedded processor apps. All of which I use daily. Same issue
with Mac.
If your statements are in fact true, you are in a very small minority of
the work force. I wish people would stop spreading FUD about linux.
I would wager that 90% of the workforce could be transitioned to linux
with no major problems.

For that staement to be considered valid you'd need to provide some basis.
Many of my apps have no Linux distros. Sorry, Linux is NOT mainstream
at all. Look at market share numbers.
I'm glad you're happy with it. I wouldn't consider it in a heartbeat.
And I have considered it in the past, more than once.
I've posted here about this in the past, including a list of apps I
depend upon that have no Linux releases.
I'm all for rebels but this is a practical issue, not an emotional nor
political one.
Both Linux and Apple are niche products. Just look at market share.
Call me when one of them takes over the computing world.
