# 1, these so-called "downloads" figures from an open source group, are like "polls" from John Zogby.
They are worthless.
No independent confirmation.
Normal open source propaganda.
One for the garbage bin.

# 2, downloads don't mean much. I have lots of stuff I have downloaded on my PC, and never used more than twice.
Download out of curiosity, and then quietly retire it.

# 3, 97% of new PC's come pre-installed with Microsoft's browser. That is over 150 million Microsoft browsers on new PC's this year alone. Plus a gargantuan installed base of Microsoft browsers of up to one billion. Compared to all that, 10 million is like a speck.
We don't need no stinking downloads.

# 4, Microsoft is still overwhelmingly King of the browser market by a huge margin.
Firefox remains a rounding error.

This is just off the top of my head.
Bottom line: Microsoft rules. :)

BTW , thanks for giving me a chance to take you apart once again.
Pleasure's always mine.

Firefox - rounding error?????

Are you kidding?

Look at any site's stats and you'll see double digit % for Firefox. Some high profile blogs have 20%+ Firefox usage.

Don't you have some Letter(s) to the Editor(s) you need to write and sign names of dead people on them?

That's a very good cartoon of your typical open source crazy you got down there.
Let's face it, facing reality has never been a strong point of you open source lunatics. :) You have been predicting "putting Microsoft out of business" for over 10 years now.
Meanwhile, in real life, Microsoft just keeps getting stronger ever single year.
Don't you just love it when that happens? :)

Firefox is open source, communist garbage.
I think Kim Il Jung the vicious North Korean Dictator will just love it.

IE's next browser will not be available apart from the OS.

It also won't be CSS compliant.... imho.

Don't you have some crazy stuff you need to be posting on the DUmmy web site?

Using FireFox 75% of the time now. It has many intelligent features that Internet Explorer simply lacks.

>> Back up your Firefox books. It's a known issue for them to disappear. You can find them under the word "bookmarks" by searching your C drive. It's an HTML file. Simply make a copy in your documents folder or desktop.

type about:config in the address bar and adjust the number of simultaneous network.http.connection. threads upward... the stock setting is WAY WAY low, for beta use.

This website, at least it used to, probably still runs on an open source server. probably a flavor of openBSD or linux... and apache....

all open source... from the beginning.
you know, all us commies love it.
I think the scripts are written in perl... also a commie plot... open source.

think red china...

If your mouse has a scroll wheel, click the scroll wheel once to open a highlighted link in a new tab; to kill any tab, place the cursor on the tab and click the scroll wheel once. .........


HOT TIPS!!!

Have we officially even been here for a decade yet?
And is Jim still running this on open source servers and using open source scripting programs?

last time I checked.... we were not officially up and running as free republic since 1994... I seem to remember a bulletin board on compuserve, but that was in 95-96 era...

we could sure use a history lesson, it seems.

currently?

IE's next browser will not be available apart from the OS.

By the time the next version of the IE virus-transportation system oozes out of MS, nobody with a brain will care.

And that will be that.

That's it? That's your best shot?

Isn't Citizens Against Government Waste usually considered a Leftist lobby group? Perhaps they're populated by DUngers like Bill Gates. Such irony, no?

What a noob....

Microsoft Supported by Dead People
By Thor Olavsrud
August 23, 2001

Apparently the dead are fed up with the government's antitrust case against Microsoft Corp. According to a report in the Los Angeles Times Thursday morning, letters purportedly written by at least two dead people have made their way onto the desk of Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff. The letters asked Shurtleff to go easy on the company.

According to the article, the letters, along with those of 400 Utah citizens, are part of a nationwide "grassroots" campaign orchestrated by pro-Microsoft groups Americans for Technology Leadership (ATL) and Citizens Against Government Waste. The groups receive some funding from Microsoft but won't disclose how much.

The Times reported that the ATL calls citizens and says it is conducting a poll about the Microsoft case. Respondents who say they support the company are then sent individually written letters on personalized stationary, with varying wording, color and typeface, along with hand stamped, pre-addressed envelopes. The envelopes are addressed to their state attorney generals, President Bush and their Congressional representatives.

ATL Executive Director Jim Prendergrast first said respondents who expressed support for Microsoft were only given suggestions about what to write in their own letters. But after he was asked why some phrases were identical, he admitted that his group wrote the letters, according to the Times.

Citizens Against Government Waste, on the other hand, distributed identical letters to citizens. Those varied only by the signature attached. The two letters from beyond the grave came from the Citizens Against Government Waste crop. According to the Times, family members crossed out the names and signed for them. Another letter was sent from "Tuscon, Utah," a city that doesn't even exist.

Regulators evidently became suspicious when they noticed that some of the same phrases appeared in numerous letters, and that some return addresses were invalid.
