IE out(fire)foxed
Well, maybe not really yet, but early adopters among the tech savvy seem impressive and the Firefox downloads at Spread Firefox topped 300.000 on day one after the 1.0PR release.
Naturally Firefox is still a long way from gaining a major share of the browser market, but given IE's inbuilt advantages of distribution, even the relatively small margins Firefox gained are impressive - and important, for those of us who want the IE monoply GONE - and hasn't gone unnoticed elsewhere, even in mainly non-technical publications like, for example, Businessweek here, talking about A Firefox in IE's Henhouse.
On a slightly more personal aspect of the Firefox developement and such, the New Zealand Herald has done an interview with lead engineer - and Kiwi boy - Ben Goodger: Kiwi leads effort to build a better browser
And that's all for the moment from the Firefox front. ;)
