Ted Samson, the writer of the article, writes for many e-magazines like InfoWorld, PCWorld, TechWorld and so on. He has long had a history as a absolute Microsoft supporter and it has done him well as he has always had access to the latest and greatest from MS. His article is long on opinion and short on details. He may be right on target with his facts and observation but OTOH the article might just be a MS hack job. PS He was the guy who broke the story on IEs super-fast graphic rendering engine but it turned out to be a setup challenge. I will wait and see more facts, from other tech writers before accepting his version.

Here FF has here reched "use only when necessary" because of its crashes & weird slowdowns.
