Odd. I haven't had a MS Windows system available in my household for 6 years.
While Konq used to fail on many sites, I was always about to use Firefox or
Iceweasel to fill in the gaps.
The situation has improved a lot in the last year or so as more and more
sites come to the realization that Microsoft compatibility is not as
desirable as standards compatibility (and to a very tiny degree, so has
Microsoft itself). The availability of Flash on Linux was a godsend,
but Iceweasel in Squeeze has had a lot of Flash ups and downs. I
couldn't count on it working from day to day.
I have not tried midori; I have now put it on my TODO list. I second
that links2 is pretty snazzy, but lack of Javascript is a deal-breaker.
I use Gnome, and Konquerer is anathema. (KDE 4 is anathema to my sanity.)
I keep Windows around for games. In the family, also, my mother will
not tolerate any changes to her setup, she uses Windows and is set in
her ways, and I am called on to maintain that machine.
