Hmm, it worked right in Mozilla 1.4 RC1 here. I compared it side by side with IE and the only difference was that IE rendered the table rows at the bottom too wide.. There was about 200 px of table off to the right.
I am a "new" linux user. New being in the last year. I never stayed on linux permanently until Mandrake 9.1.
It works well for my daily needs. I use Mozilla for the web, and it works with 100% of the sites I use.. I haven't found a site in a long time that it hasn't worked with, and I use it for banking, billing, shopping, and general browsing. In fact, it works better then IE. My USB camera and scanner are detected automagically and I use them for photo editing/importing/printing. I use Gimp for editing. Sure, its not Photoshop, but its more then adequate for home use. I use OpenOffice.org for document writing. Yes, it doesn't have the advanced features of MS Office, but it has everything I've ever needed to use.
I can't get around the command line, and I struggle with the directory structure, but I can use linux as efficiently as I use Windows because it has gotten good enough for Joe Sixpack and Mandrake made the transition easy.
I still wonder what sites Mozilla doesn't work on for you? OOo will get there someday because each day and each build it gets a step closer to being the perfect MS Office replacement.
Even my fiancee uses linux easily, and she hates computers with a passion. I'd say its 90-95% ready for everybody, but that last 5-10% will be the hardest to do.
My roommate did a really cool thing to get rid of the wire mess..
We ran to the hardware store and got some 1" or 1-1/2" thick clear tubing and cut about 6' long piece of it. We cut a length-wise cut in it and fed all the wires through there.
It was extremely neat and clean and worked really well under the desk. For moving you just unplug either side and keep the wires together... It's nice. Plus, you can put Christmas lights in it if you are in the mood.

Only because my friend complains I spend so much time on /. that I can get the first post.
We know this looks bad for you. But look at it from MS's point of view: choice is bad and all other software companies should be eliminated.
See, don't you feel better now?

the burning question is.. is the girl's butt for intake or exhaust?
