FireFox and Longhorn: Meant For Each Other?

Posted by Hemos on from the might-make-life-easier dept.

News for nerds writes "According to the internetnews.com report, Microsoft's technology evangelist Robert Scoble said in his blog and interview that while he is a user of Firefox it can be improved if Mozilla developers take advantage of Longhorn technologies such as XAML, Avalon and WinFS, instead of making it only within GNOME/Mozilla coalition."

    They know that IE code is breakable and IE 7.0 is not that much different from IE 6.0, so they want Mozilla Developers to do the work for them to integrate with Longhorn. So MS can steal^H^H^H^H^H^Hborrow the Firefox code and make IE 8.0 with it and add in the VB.NET, ActiveX, and other stuff that Mozilla/Firefox lacks.
