But it will never compete in the corporate environment. Not in mine anyway. I'm having a hell of a time convincing the Help Desk to install it on all the machines. 90% of the firm is still using IE, only a select few including I have adopted FF.
Reasoning? Supporting FireFox when connecting to various intranet applications STILL isn't supported? For FireFox to take hold, they would have to recode the majority of their applications. And while Exchange over the web works fine in FF, it really does work better with IE, guess the proprietary crap does lend IE the advantage there.
In the end, I'll still use IE for some of the work related functions, but by keeping FF the way it is currently, I'll remain a huge fan and use it for EVERYTHING else.
This happened in a few of my classes at Carnegie Mellon four years ago. You would think we are all about technology there, but many of the professors don't allow them into the classroom.
I used to rummage through Wean Hall (@ Carnegie Mellon University) during the wee hours in studio. I would find old computers dumped out in the hallways. I took them apart, screwed all the motherboards into the wall behind my studio (architecture) desk. I then plugged in all the ISA/PCI cards I found, and used them to hold small things like lead pointers, lead, pins, and other drawing and modeling supplies.

Reading the show summary really doesn't give you much information. I suggest you actually read the comic book series before passing judgement.
