While it is true that microsoft and others can do this, and have been
found to do so in the past
(
http://news.zdnet.co.uk/software/0,1...9155572,00.htm ) that
hopefully isn't the case here. I'd check the IPv6 stuff and also see if
you get different performance by adding the 'User Agent Switcher' add-on
to Firefox. If you do that and switch so your system looks like IE 7 on
vista and things improve then that would be very exciting indeed.
Good luck.
