I do wonder if a Windows-only release will attract a lot of people who might not have been comfortable downloading, installing and learning their way around FireFox who might be more comfortable with the Google brand name. Well, I admit I was disappointed that they choose a separate Open Source project instead of contributing more to FireFox, but this is a pretty radical departure at so many levels -- different rendering engine, different threading model, different design of app protection and segmentation -- that it needed to be a different project. However, I expect that the Innovation that it brings - real Innovation, not marketing slogans - will improve all the products.

I hope that doesn't change, as competition in the market is the best thing for both products. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
