Rock You Like A FireFox

Dude don't know where you get your stats from but check this out http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp
This is from w3c they are the guys responsible for HTML / XHTML / XML ... standards. As per them Firefox crossed 21% this month.

And as per vnunet it's crossed 25%
http://www.vnunet.com/news/1161584

In confirmed news IE7 will be compatible with XP-SP2, 2003 and the 64-bit MS OS. IE7 beta is releasing mid-year and by end of 2005 it will be released (As per MS, Hmm..., End of THIS year).

The king of the jungle has yet to answer the challenge (at least it has woken up). If IE permanently looses market share it will be because of sheer callousness and overconfidence on part of IE and MS. Not that it has happened for the first time, remember MSvsIBM, IEvsNetscape, I've always been a MS fan and I love their aggressive business style, but somebody put it really well, "History repeats itself. Why? Because, nobody remember how it was made."

I don't think that things would be the same for IE again, Firefox is good and IE7 will have limited effect because it is not catering for Win2000, Win98, Linux machines among others. My prediction in four lines:
IE will growl,
And the fox will howl,
Somehow I get the feeling in my Gut,
IE will be left with a huge hole in it's BUTT !!

FIREFOX ROCKS

Mucho Gracias Kailash dear for suggesting firefox !!

No wonder microsoft now wants to fix up IE and release IE 7 before Longhorn. But the best part about it is that IE 7 will run only in WinXP not even Win2000, probably WinXP SP2. This really sucks, I'm beginning to wonder about the future of MS if they continue to have such policies.

Pondering...

I ponder, where is the concrete embankment that we all knew and loved and lived upon?

And I hear a voice from someplace, "Exactly where you all left it, to be passed on to the next motley crew of ragamuffins to uphold your legacy. Home to those who could never be held down to the confines of the four wall of the classroom. It shall serve as a meeting place for great minds, to ponder upon the future, and extract ideas of immense stature, and change the world for the better."

And I hear myself thinking, Yeah Right!!!
