Interviewed by CNN on 05/08/2011 11:17, Bill Davidsen told the world:
Some commercial users have complained that they can't do a QA cycle that often,
and according to the reports were told that Firefox is not suitable for business
use. I can dig out the link for anyone who hasn't learned to use a search
engine, I saw it in either networkworld.com or slashdot.
This guy at Ars Technica had a different spin on the issue:

Yes, he certainly makes the point that if you aren't the one paying for testing,
or for the cost of retraining users, or lost productivity if there is a bug and
something required stops working. And since there are no bugfix releases if
there are bugs they will never be fixed, you just have to live with the bug for
six weeks and then upgrade again.
Like buying a new car every six weeks, and if the brakes don't work you walk
until you get the next model, which may or may not have brakes, and every once
in a while will tint the windshield blue, change the connector on the power
point so your GPS and other toys no longer plug in.

We are not out of the woods yet, but we know the direction and have
taken the first step. The steps are many, but finite in number, and if
we persevere we will reach our destination. -me, 2010
