    Many people have had problems in fitting Firefox into their Microsoft suite because of Microsoft's "integration."

    Say what? Who is having problems fitting Firefox into their Microsoft "suite" (whatever that is)? What the hell is he talking about?

    On the contrary -- as in that quote, he frequently gave the impression that he doesn't have the slightest idea what Microsoft software can and can't do. He's been a Unix guy for so long it's not surprising but he sounds like his understanding of Microsoft comes from listening to Linux zealots.

    I dunno, I was pretty disappointed in this interview. I'd expected better.
