Microsoft Says Firefox Not a Threat to IE

KillaKen187 writes "A CNET article claims that 'just days after the launch of open-source browser Firefox 1.0, Microsoft executives defended Internet Explorer, saying it is no less secure than any other browser and doesn't lack any important features.' It's also interesting to note that these statements made by Steve Vamos, Microsoft Australia's managing director, come with no knowledge of what Firefox has to offer as he admits not even installing or using Firefox."

No way. People these days hate everything new.

Or maybe we could take advantage of polarization of world opinion and do a ton of differently-branded browsers! We could be the GM of web browsers:

Likud Party Internet
PLA Internet

Republican Internet
Democrat Internet

America Rocks Internet
Fuck America Internet
I'm-so-bored-with-the-USA Internet
