Firefox Exec Says Windows Bundling Is a Bad Idea

eldavojohn writes "The Firefox executives say they don't want to be bundled with Windows. Firefox architect Mike Conner also said this of Opera, 'Opera's asserting something that's provably false. It's asserting that bundling leads to market share. I don't know how you can make the claim with a straight face. As people become aware there's an alternative, you don't end up in that [monopoly] situation. You have to be perceptibly better [than Internet Explorer].' He also told PCPro that they are worried about becoming the next monopoly just like Microsoft is now."

after all, look how miserably microsoft failed trying to dent netscape's marketshare when it started bundling internet explorer with windows

will anyone ever take netscape down as top dog of the browser wars?
