I've been using Windows 7 since January. It is a big step up from Vista and I could never go back to XP. I have not used IE for years. Firefox all the way. At the very least, the fact that Firefox does not support ActiveX should be THE reason to use it instead of IE. ActiveX is IE only and it is a security nightmare.
Isberian, I assum you know enough not to get into trouble and not installing updates may be fine for you but the average user should ALWAYS install security updates. They patch major vulnerabilities that allow a malicious site to take over a machine without any interaction from the user and not installing updates is just inviting viruses and spam bots into the average users machine.
I know how not to get bitten but I still install updates. I have never had any issues, though I have not run XP for a couple years. I do not run antivirus software, however.
