"The growth in usage of Mozilla Foundation's Firefox browser is driven by factors that are not inherently sustainable." "Gartner has warned firms considering migrating to Firefox, an open-source browser from Mozilla, to think carefully." "Additionally, now that Firefox and other non-Microsoft browsers are denting IE's popularity, the bad guys are targetting them." - Gartner Group
I'm absolutely delighted that the decision to tie IE releases to Windows has been reversed. http://news.com.com/IE+update+to+debut+ahead+of+plans/2100-1032_3-5577263.ht ml And Firefox is no panacea. It is just another browser with a different set of issues. A good backup browser, really. Besides, the only memory that is wasted is that which is not used, right? <jk> William -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stan Bubrouski Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2005 4:27 PM To: danjr Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Full-Disclosure] New Internet Explorer Beta danjr wrote: <SNIP> > initiative.

How much memory is wasted when you could simply run firefox or another browser and have no need to run either of those two hogs. -sb _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
