Gartner Says it's a 2-Browser World
prostoalex writes "In its advisory to the IT managers Gartner says that even though the factors that drive the current Firefox growth are not sustainable, IT departments better get used to a two-browser world. "Concerns about security currently favor Mozilla Foundation's Firefox, but the market tide can shift if security breaches result from increased usage of Firefox", says Gartner and ZDNet adds that "Microsoft must deliver an improved version of its browser in Longhorn if it is to "determine the outcome" of the browser war.""
So which one is country and which is western?
Oh, say does that Star-Spangled Banner entwine / The myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's vine?
"isn't that another tentacle around your throat?"
"yes, but it's an improved tentacle and i'm certain i feel better about it than the last one."
Let me guess, this is some anime reference I'm not getting.
factors that drive the current Firefox growth are not sustainable
At its current rate, every elementary particle in the Universe will be using Firefox by 2010. Clearly, that's not sustainable.
No, more like "Way to show the world you cannot read very well". Re-read it: "Having two competing browsers is definitely a better playing field than just one monopolistic browser."
Key concepts: Having two is better than ONE. Only if there was a single browser would it be monopolistic. Having TWO makes it so there's NOT a single monopolistic browser.
Wow, kneejerk response to a buzzword there? "Me see word 'monopolistic', me must post that there no such thing." Your plutocratic handlers are doing a good job! You immediately spout bullshit upon encountering a key word from your brainwashing/mental training.
Is that the same Longhorn that was supposed to have such high level requirements for operation that no current system can run it
:P
Perhaps they're already testing it on cell processors...
It should be Dillo! Oh God, what a stupid typo... Please mod parent down.

Ahhh yes, but here's a list of the stuff that you don't have that longhorn will require once released:
Markup-Chip Demodulator
Andium coated flux capacitor
DXRDG Drive
Enough Keltic Cycles
Ultimate Power Booster
Process Certification
Hmmm witty sig or funny sig? Maybe elitest techy sig!
Fortunately, by the time that Longhorn is released, everyone will be running Firefox on Google's forthcoming operating system.
cant wiat for the IE virus that install firefox as default...
Micro$oft should seriously think about buying a spyware developer...hopefully they can fund development of some insecurities into Firefox.
Maybe MSN Search people can fund that....they're not going to be catching up with google anyway..
... because it has been proclaimed by the sage asshats at Gartner. Really, these guys have a problem predicting that the sun will rise in the East. Glad they are stepping out on this limb a good six months after the phenomenon started.
Ixnay on the oenixphay! Didn't you get the memo about the name change?
