Mozilla Poised for Revival?
MarkedMan writes "An interesting and fairly lengthy CNET article on Mozilla and the pending 1.0 release. Kind of shallow research, making some common mistakes (Like many others, he half implies that AOL picking Mozilla as the default browser automatically puts 35 million users in the Netscape camp.) Good to see this getting some fairly mainline press."
Ok so AOL now uses mozilla rendering engine, while that's all great and dandy. Consider this, an open source project that is being used in a extrememly commercialized product, not only that but AOL is considered by many if not most the scum of the internet. While I'm aware that most everyone that reads slashdot hates Microsoft I fail to see how this effects hardly anyone here beyond the fact that websites they create will now have less IE visitors. AOL uses Mozilla because it owns netscape, not because IE sucks, in reality its a very decent web browser despite the fact that microsoft made it. Mod me flamebait.
Do you have a point or do you just like rambling?
In a market, Alternative <=> Competitor.
Yours Sincerely, Michael.
Dude, where have you been? The majority DOES rule. The W3C could proclaim tomorrow that Mozilla is the *only* browser, but that wouldn't change shit. IE's the majority. A very, very strong majority. What IE does, the Web now follows. Whether or not you like it is absolutely irrelevant.
