Which Organizations Have Standardized on Mozilla?
andy brunetto asks: " We are investigating email clients to deploy as our "standard" at the college where I work. I'm trying to find out who is using Mozilla for their email. When I say "who" I mean organizationally, as I realize 99% of us geeks already use it. What organizations out there are rolling out Mozilla as their standard web and/or email client, and why? Yes, we are considering using Thunderbird, once it is final. Thanks!" Hopefully this will make companies realize that the Internet isn't comprised of just IE users.
Even Microsoft knows IE is a horrible browser.
My organization is entirely devoted to using mozilla and mozilla based products.
And yes, I AM looking to expand our current one man workforce.
I am a filthy pirate.
Sorry, but the real geeks use Mutt ... graphical email clients are for geek posers ;)

We chose Mozilla to go along with IE and Outlook. All the Netscape users are happy (we used to standardize on 4.77), all the Outlook users are saying "WTF is this dragon head on my desktop"
Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos
Mozilla is incredibly customizable, and you don't need to jump through administrative hoops (IEAK) to customize it. I "Snoopified" my menu bar in a few short minutes of hacking ... so my "Fizile" menu now says "Bizounce" instead of "Exit" ... what, I never said the customization was useful.

No one is going to touch mozilla until all the crash bugs are closed. I've had a crash bug open since moz 1.1 and its still not resolved.
/)
/) in the mozilla URL bar. then click on the crapzilla.html file that is shown in the file list.
From the bug you mentioned:
Follow these instructions EXACTLY. Open up your version of mozilla (1.4 or nightlies)
Make sure you have the recommended version of java installed (1.4.1 is recommended by the mozilla 1.4 release notes, or any other version will do)
Start up the javascript console and the java console in that order.
make mozilla fill 1/3 of your screen with the javascript console taking up another 1/3 and the java console the last 1/3.
put the 3 files (crapzilla.html, crapzilla.java, crapzilla.class in your root drive (c:\ or
type c:\ (or
wait till the counter counts down to 1500 and you will see a alert box. press Cntrl-Q to exit mozilla, click on the javascript console and hit file->exit, then quickly switch to the java console and hit the close button.
mozilla should now crash with the talkback window.
Yes, I'm so sure that this particular bug is going to prevent millions of people from adopting Mozilla-based products.
My next comment on the 50%, how many of them were Opera or Konqueror users spoofing as MSIE?
No one is going to touch mozilla until all the crash bugs are closed.
Mozilla -> crash here and there
IE Exploder -> pop-up, pop-up, pop-up
Mozilla Email -> crash now and again
Outlook -> Mails to everyone in your address book of the latest Nicaragua money that was made by Penis enlargment pills.
The internal struggle of what to use continues for me!

most public M$ compooters get wiped clean everyday. It's the only way to fight macroviruses, gator and the like. This would have eliminated your Phoenix install's links and preference settings if not Phoenix itself. The trouble people go through to "support" microsoft is mind boggling.
Friends don't help friends install M$ junk.
Follow these instructions EXACTLY: Open yer version of mozilla open up UT2003 in windowed mode Start converting a DIVX into MPEG2 format Burn a copy of Windows XP Start dictating a document using MS voice-recognition start running a 64-client Battlefield 1942 server process ... mozilla should now crash with the talkback window
... with a little more time, and a six-leaf clover..
I have never had any of these problems. I am using Windows 2000, IE 6, both fully updated. I have the Macromedia stuff installed and maybe a couple other plugins.
I don't know what you people are doing.
BTW Don't use File->New Window, click on the shortcut.
if you check again does it say 100% slashdotted?
IE is so much easier in every way.
Insert the following LINE into an html file and open it in IE:
<input type text>
I have IE 6.0.2600.0000, and this single line will crash IE producing the MS "talkback" dialog. I don't have to even load a java class file to produce the same type of behaviour. So obviously IE is superior!!!!
LOL
You forgot to mention, this only happens with 16 MB RAM.
"I haven't lost my mind -- it's just backed up on tape somewhere."
It all computes right :
297 use Mozillamail
1 uses mutt
1 uses pine
1 uses evolution
Seems like 99 % to me
