Sorry - you aren't gonna like this comment:
What I am most interested in is the stability of a product/service. I tried FireFox for one week and removed it for two reasons; it renders differently than what I am used to with IE, and because it crashed/froze 4 times in 40 hours.
HOWEVER, I am a status Quo Kinda guy. When I'm driving I don't make full stops at EVERY stop sign, nor do I obey the speed limit ALL the time. So why would IE's non-compliance to standards bother me? Standards are mostly a guideline/suggestion/goal. If you had to choose between a feature rich superior car that suddenly stalls every 400 miles, or a car that wasn't as "superior", but much more reliable...?
And if we are going to talk numbers, how much money has "The FireFox Foundation" given away/back to the community? As far as "The Gates Foundation" is concerned, those are numbers that are VERY persuasive.
