PCWorld Dubs Firefox Best Product of 2005

Peaceful_Patriot writes "PCWorld's list of the 'Best Products of 2005' is out and Firefox tops the list. Also notables are GMail at number 2, Apple OS X, Tiger at number 3, Skype ranks in at 8 and Ubuntu at 26!" From their Firefox article: "Are you sick and tired of Internet Explorer? Have you grown weary of the constant vulnerabilities and patches? Do you scratch your head at sudden program lockups and crashes? Are you dismayed that Microsoft hasn't lifted a finger to improve or enhance IE since it buried Netscape's Navigator browser at the dawn of the century? Yeah, me too."

I don't buy Belkin products any more

Had the most hellish time with a wireless dongle trying to get it to run under anything but Windows. Turned out, of course, that it was one of those lovely products that used about three different chipsets in the "same" model, along with a range of other gotchas. Even ndiswrapper couldn't handle it. And of course the chance of Belkin actually assisting in any way are nil.

If there's any Belkin employees reading this: please tell your management that at least one person will start buying your products when you start releasing your hardware interfaces.

What makes Windows so great for noobs is that they install it and then they click to get on teh interweb

Newbies never install OS. For a newbie windows comes pre-installed
