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.""

    When people say firefox has is lot more secure than IE, I laugh. Today I played around with firefox and found a huge hole. If some lowely web developer can find a big gaping hole in 1/2 hour, how many more undiscovered exploits are in mozilla?

    I thought the great thing about standards was that there are so many to choose from.

    Microsoft chose to define and adhere to their own standard. In an OSS world, that would be perfectly acceptable.

    Gartner, aside from the fact that he has the analytical abilities of a brain-dead version of Gates, and the fact that he sleeps with his mother, is a wonderful person.... Really!!!!!
