    That's the sort of rivalry I like. Competition between engineers tends to be good humored banter. Competition between marketeers seems to be cut throat warmongering. Shame really. It should go back to the days of jolly good what what old sport, I say good game with a touch of the old one two.

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

    Nice try, Firefox.

    I'd bet the existence of Firefox means there are about 100 more IE devs employed than there would otherwise be.

    The cake's a meager kickback.

    Nah, they just forgot to mention you can't cut it without a Microsoft knife, or eat it without Microsoft spoons... ;)

    Sounds less like a Microsoft cake and more like an Apple pie.
