AP reports on renewed "Browser War"

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i'll-believe-it-when-I-see-it dept.

An anonymous reader writes "CNN and others are reporting an Associated Press story on "the revived browser war" with Mozilla paired against Microsoft. It seems the 1.0 release is creating some waves out there. " Considering most people consider the war long since over, I can't imagine this mattering much.

    I'm starting a new war. It's called the War on War. If you're sick of all these Wars, please join my war.

    Seriously, who really wants to read about browser wars any more? The market will dictate which browser "wins." The rest of the browsers will have to be happy with less than a majority of users.

    Big friggin whoopty-do!

    I use mozilla because I like it. If MSIE comes out with something better, I might use it instead.

      In today's report on the Browser War, Pentagon spokesperson Colonel John L. Bruegghammer announced that following sustained bombing of Mozzillite position during the night, the Softies thought they would simply need to perform a mop-up operation. However, the fighting intensified during the morning, and the Open Reporters quoted a source in the opposition: "We are in high spirit, and even though we lost a lot of ground, we are poised to carry the day".

      Don't you mean "My Favorites" ?

      Here's a hint: Right click on "My Computer" then rename it to "My Komputer." Then all your fiends will think youre a cool KDE Linux user.
