I run it with two monitors and no problems whatsoever.

Well, except from the fact that it's ALWAYS using over 15% CPU, no matter what I do :S Often spikes to 25-40% for several minutes, even if I'm just browsing a chan or BF2s

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Firefox has some weird issues, like dragging images directly into my photoshop does not function properly.

Until Adblock/Themes and shit work on it, I see no point in downloading the new versions. Also, there's nothing wrong with FF at the moment, if it's not broke, why fix it? (except for the security updates)

And it's such an attitude that caused us to be stuck with non web standards Internet Explorer's for the past years.
Why stop when you can make a program better?

Agreed.

One thing that bothers me with FF3b4, though, is that Hotmail v2 won't work on it, and I have to use the old version. (Yes, I know, Hotmail sucks, just can't be arsed to cross over to my GMail account.)

Guess what? GMail is 10x faster. Guess what else? Every other site will work at least twice the speed, and the browser uses much less memory. And takes less time to open. And there are SO many features that make this better... And there's an awesome history+bookmarks search on-type... Seriously, people should stop with this gay attitiude that has ruined so many things.
You complain about Microsoft with XP and Vista and yet you say things like this when someone actually does something... Hypocrite.

Yeah, please go back to windows 98

You upgrade your hardware too, same with software. Your old computer still runs pretty fine, but you can get a better one. Firefox runs fine, but there are a few issues that can be better, as well as some new features. They just upgrade it to be future-proof.

That is a logical fallacy. Argumentum ad Traditio. Simply because it works fine now does not mean that there is not room for improvement.

I'm not complaining about Firefox or "moving forward", I'm just giving my opinion on the software as it is now. I have no doubt in the fact that M$ and Mozilla will make Hotmail v2 work with FF3 full.
