You can assume that on Firefox 3.5. I agree, that I could have worded it better. We definitely haven't "won" yet. Also, that's why I wanted to use it as a rallying call (see finish off IE6 below). If you have a website please add it (it will add a little banner encouraging IE6 users to upgrade). Other than that I would really like other ideas for promoting Firefox in India. Maybe -- Hand out pamphlets to webcafes/anywhere we see IE being used, wear Firefox t-shirts. Any other ideas? -Bryan > > > But we can use this as a rallying call to do more.
