[GLLUG] What Intel Giveth, Microsoft Taketh Away

[Charles Ulrich]

I'm trying out a Firefox 3.0 alpha and it's actually quite good. It's
still not lightweight by any measure, but it does render pages a LOT
faster. Large tables which would have been impossible to view in
Firefox 2 are at least viewable now. Pretty stable too, it hasn't
crashed or choked on a page yet after 3 weeks of daily use.

I imagine they're going to add some features that will change this
before it hits beta. :(
