The Mozilla foundation released Firefox 2.0.0.1 today, in order to pre-emptively fix some security problems and improve compatibility with Windows Vista. But 100% support of Vista is proving to be more difficult than originally imagined.

And why is that??? MS don't want Vista to have any 3rd party web browsers??

I doubt they'd be allowed to do that by law (European at least, not sure about U.S.) but I'm in no doubt they'd happily make it harder for Mozilla, Opera etc They already make web designers jobs much harder by not supporting world wide agreed web standards that have been around for over half a decade.

Yeah typical MS way to make things going their way ...

And people here are wondering why EU is against MS

I actually doubt that. MS did invite the Firefox team to visit their Vista developer team, so they easier could fix vista related bugs.

Thing is that they are finding out Vista is not easy to work with, far less the 64bit version.
