Firefox and Open Standards the Way Forward

Posted by timothy on Monday March 21, 2005 @05:45PM from the but-that's-just-the-wine-talking dept.

lamasquerade writes "A major Australian newspaper has a lengthy and detailed feature on open source/standards, avoiding vendor lock-in, and specifically the increasing uptake of Firefox by major organisations' IT departments. It touches on security and price advantages of open source but mainly focuses on open standards -- the perils of vendor lock-in, and their importance to technologies like the Internet and digital music. Linux, OpenOffice.org and even Bugzilla get a mention and all told it is a very pro-open source/standards article, especially considering it is in a mass-circulation publication."

I'm glad I'm a non-Aussie so I cannot comprehend what has happened.
FYI, I'm actually a Kiwi! We play league here too, even have a team in the NRL!
I hope plenty of Mod points get wasted modding our comments Offtopic.... it's not as if people can't work that out....

but i find opera a better browser than firefox and i dont think it gets as much credit as it deserves.

I dont say this to put firefox down - i think its a really good browser, just that opera is even better.
