FireFox 3.1 Leaves IE in the Dust

Anonymous writes "Granted, FireFox 3.1 is just a beta and IE 8 is also in beta, but it looks like Microsoft has some ground to make up when it comes to browser performance. Given that Mozilla appears to be on a much faster cycle than Microsoft with this stuff, it's also possible that it could increase the gap even more before IE 8 is GA, no?"

    Oh? When did they ever claim that?

    You've never been to a Microsoft seminar, have you? To answer you, they spout nonsense like that pretty much at every moment they can muster. Every Microsoft peon mumbles things like that to sound knowledgeable. (paraphrasing) "We have an intimate knowledge of our OS so we have a natural competitive advantage."

    Your opinion about what is relelvant is irrrelevant, I'm unclear on why you think anyonw would care about it.

    And yes, I use whatever is fastest until something faster comes along, why are you confused about this?

    Were you not following the thread where this was openly and clearly discussed? Your responses seem less than useful when coupled with the fact that you seem to have missed the main point of my discussion with OP.
