    Ah, so the primary reason for Firefox moving to shorter releases is to get more cakes out of Redmond.

    Nice try, Firefox.

    I think Matthew Holloway (not me, BTW) may be on to something there.

      Here's another good one: "Considering the way they drove Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox into near oblivion with devious practices, this seems a lot like sending a valentine’s day card to your rape victim, every year."

    Sure that cake looks great with IE, but slap any other browser on it, and the "C" in "Congratulations" will be smack dab in the middle of the cake with all of the other text oozing of the right onto the table.
