Microsoft and Mozilla To Collaborate for Vista

Posted by Zonk on from the two-great-tastes dept.

ukhackster writes "Relations between Microsoft and the open source community may be thawing. The Mozilla Foundation has just welcomed the offer of help to get Firefox working properly in Vista, and Microsoft has also insisted it will help non-IE browsers work with Windows Live. Is this the start of better collaboration, or just a sign the Microsoft has learned its lesson from the antitrust battles?"

    Just a matter of time. Vista will flop. XP is crap. 2000 was kinda ok for a sucky closed OS, but soon no longer supported. M$ is the one who will have to adapt. No reason to work with them, they're soon a non-entity.
