I'm uninstalling Mozilla Firefox

I've actually been having a good amount of issues with Firefox on Windows 8 and it's been pissing me off for months. I knew IE sucked, so I have used it since the first week I've had this laptop.

Good luck with that change........You will find that a LOT of programs you like or would like will not work with a Mac. That's the only reason I switched back to MS.......But not really happy with them either.

Normally I wouldn't weigh in on this but yeah, that's going too far.
It would be one thing IF he had used company money to make a political statement backing his beliefs in the name of the company, I'm presuming he didn't. There should have been no professional repercussions if it was a personal donation using his own money. The people behind the boycott should be embarrassed and ashamed of their bigotry and bullying, and the company should be blasted for not standing up to them and accepting his "resignation".
The pendulum has swung too far when a minority feels justified in practicing the same kind of intolerance and hatred they claim to be victims of against one person declaring their personal preference. They should be afraid of how far the same pendulum is going to swing back the further they push their way past a reasonable measure.

It seems like my family has literally never had a good computer that I'd be able to classify as a "good purchase."

I don't get all the hate for Windows 8. (unintentional rhyme) It was a little rough figuring out the changes to the settings from XP/Vista but otherwise I don't have issues with it. I am using a touchscreen but most of the time I am using the Windows 7 desktop. The latest update is supposed to allow for Windows 8 to be very close to 7. I have loaded it but haven't bothered to try it.

The biggest issue I've had is the "bad_pool_header" errors because the crappy MacAfee virus protection was integrated into Windows 8 in some way that by "removing" (I can't figure out how to 100% remove it) it and installing Kaspersky causes it to crash and restart for no reason. It hasn't done it recently, but did quite frequently until the updates have come out.

W/Windows 7 the most liked and I agree is MSE as well as good cleaning app/program.
For MAC, SnowLeapard 10.6 and above....nothing.
