IE Blog - Strangely, I'm a bit excited about this. :confused:

Firefox is a great browser and many prefer it over IE6, I wonder how Microsoft would fight back.

As someone I know has this displayed on his customized license plate, "Phuck Microsoft!!!"

Wait till Google web browser comes out...
 
meh as long as there's security I dont care because it all leads to 2 places spoofee or porn :)
 
Yeah, I have no opinion as I'm a Mac user now and I've mostly been using Safari, with a little taste of Firefox for Safari incompatible pages.

I was using Firefox religiously (for well over a year and a half probably) on my PC. I've read a lot of commentary online that says that IE7 will kill Firefox, which is a shame because it's always nice to support the open source underdog. I guess we'll have to see whether the many Firefox users flow back to IE once 7 comes out, or whether more people will choose IE7 for the first time over Firefox because it is more secure. I think Firefox will heavily lose its advantage once IE7 comes out, but that's assuming that Microsoft doesn't screw it up, which they probably will somehow. :D
 
Yeah I think microsoft is probably gonna screw up IE7 somehow and people are still gonna use firefox... The only reason i would switch back to IE was if the new explorer had a new and better look to it.

Referring to what someone said about google internet explorer- i didnt know they were even making one but if they are, im getting it no matter what the risks are- i love google

Ha lol funny.........
:claps: :claps:
 
i'm sure the people behind firefox aren't gonna sit on their a$$ and let ie have it's way
 
I doubt Microsoft will support the cool plug-ins like Firefox does. Even if they do, it will be just another ActiveX derivation...aka more exploitation.
 
The problem is that Microsoft still dominates about 90% of the market, so they can almost instantly stop the Firefox craze. Firefox has only snatched about 4 or 5 percent of the market, most people are newbies and stick with Explorer.
 
I converted 5 of my friends into firefox. hope this wont reverse them back
