I don't really have any problems with Vista.

It is about the same as XP, IMO.

I wasn't referring to you specifically. I've heard a lot worse.

I use the following major ones:
1-Click YouTube Video Downloader
Coral IE Tab
Font Finder
GreaseMonkey
Lazarus From Recovery
NoRedirect
NoScript
OpenWith
OpenDownload
ShowPicture
Stylish
Tab Preview

There are some others, but they mostly pertain to deviantART.

I just bought a new laptop over the holidays with Windows 7 (love it!). I am using IE that came with it. Have had no problems what-so-ever at this point.

Now, this is interesting.

The following are four different Firefox themes that attempt to replicate two other browsers.

myFirefox & Vista Aero:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4129
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4988
myFirefox and Vista-aero aim to replicate the interface of Internet Explorers 7 & 8 in Firefox. They do it quite well in terms of toolbar placement and icons. Both are heavily based around the Aero interface used in Windows Vista and 7, and this will show regardless of OS. Also, the separate configuration ad-on for both themes is currently incompatible with Firefox 3.6. I managed to install it with an add-on meant for nightly-build testers, but I not going to detail how I did it, so at this time, I don't reccomend either one. Chromifox Basic:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/8782
This replicates the color scheme, button style, and, to some degree, the tab appearance, of Google Chrome. Chromifox Extreme:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10674
This replicates virtually every aspect of Google Chrome.
Run in fullscreen mode (found in any browser by pressing the F11 key), it is nearly indistinguishable from the real thing.
