I also find it more than adequate, in spite of the occasional problem.

Freeze-ups also occur with Java and Java-script disabled, usually on start-up.

I've heard that Opera will be quite nice. ;-) My preference for free software
is because high quality free software will encourage the commercial vendors to
create even better software. Thus free software will cause improvements in
all sectors of the market.
I learned to use a computer on Linux first, so my experience with Window$ was
only at college. I truly cannot comment on the quality of applications
available for Window$, except that I'm sure they were better than the OS they
ran on.
