Google Chrome vs. Firebox or good old Internet Explorer?

Turn on anti-aliasing for all programs. This is a known issue in Windows.

Other than the fonts (which you can fix by turning on anti-aliasing)
and the clicking sound (which an addon fixes), what other advantages
does IE have? I personally like IE 8 when I use Windows, but I find
Firefox even better. This is a serious question.

If you have non-confidential files that look different in OOo, please
send them to me so that I could file a bug and improve OOo. Thanks.

There is none. OOo Base is nowhere near the level that Access is, even
for simple home users.
