Gotta love competition. Now the Mozilla folks won't get complacent.
# Support for XPSP2 and newer versions of Windows, including Longhorn, of course (sorry, no Win2K support)
Except for those on less than XP apparently, they don't have to worry about IE getting better. So if you're using 2K you have to buy a whole new OS you may not want if you want the newer IE.
Competition is a wonderful thing. Without Firefox there would be no IE7.
It has that old-fashioned sense of marxist urgency.
They need one that says: "MOZILLA: The Perfect Tool of the New Soviet Man"
Or how about "Firefox: The Ideal Product of the October Revolution"
You mean keep writing a browser that supports the current Web standards, made by the W3C, of which Microsoft is a member. Microsoft admits IE's CSS incompatibility is a deficiency, and therefore recognizes, although doesn't implement, Web standards.
Keep dredging up an old party poster again, done in a recognized tongue-in-cheek graphics style.
You came close to the point but missed it. The Chinese sunk a lot of money into their version of Linux, and YOU can download it for free, taking advantage of all the work THEY did.
It does, but it's not a common production configuration.
BTW, expect IE share to dip and Opera share to increase soon. As shipped, Opera has for a long time automatically identified itself as IE to get around pages that detect for and display to only IE (as Microsoft tried to pull a fast one a while back). Thus, millions of Opera users record as IE at Web sites.
Opera has recently announced that it will ship identifying itself as Opera from now on.
You never replied to my post reminding you of exactly how those vulnerabilities are composed, such as most for IE being serious, and many not being fixed.
IE is free software.
IIS comes free with XP Pro.
All this "software is communism" crap is ludicrous.
"Did I mention that IE blows?"
I strongly disagree. IE sucks!
I find that Firefox loads faster then Mozilla, and I never use IE if I can help it.
An excellent post. I am especially impressed with the sections you highlighted.
Your check is in the mail.
Sincerely,
Bill Gates
I can't stop laughing either. Microsoft's groupies are so comical.
FYI Chinese Red Flag is based on Red Hat.

According to this article, China may now even take the name "Red Hat" as well.

You have to buy the operating system first. Or I should say, TO BE LEGAL you have to buy the operating system first. Still confused?
