With Firefox 3, Microsoft Has Reason to Worry

In the chronology of Internet browsers, Netscape came out earlier, but Microsoft figured out a way to do most of the same things at least as well, if not better. It didn't hurt that the company violated the law as it mobilized to crush a nascent challenge to its desktop monopoly.

Firefox 3 just something else :O

decapitator6623d ago

Am guessing by your comment that you are participating in the beta right ? How is it working for you so far ?

For me, it's been flawless. I have experience no crashes or nothing similar to that nature. It's already on par with the F2 stable version.

Firefox was always better then IE. IE just copies firefox.

Even Bill Gates himself uses firefox.

PopEmUp6623d ago

Bill has always used Firefox since Firefox first release and have never look back on Internet Explorer ever since

Firefox FTW

nix6623d ago

comes around. remember netscape vs. ie?

riksweeney6623d ago

Not really sure what you mean by that. Microsoft killed Netscape by bundling Internet Explorer with Windows.

Alcaponeyou6623d ago

blackmail right in front of netscape's owners.
M$ were evil, IS evil.
broke every anti-trust law there was.

I'm a HUGE FireFox guy - I love it.

BUT - there is absolutely no way that MS has anything to worry about. The VAST majority of people who use the internet will always use whatever comes standard on their computer.

If it is a PC, then the program that comes standard is IE. While I would hope that everyone will eventually be FireFox people, there's just no way in hell.

Richdad6623d ago

Really I was surprised to why people even use IE before IE 7. When there was Firefox, Opera. But still this is not something to worry. I mean the news is just making a big issue of a small scene.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing15d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit15d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing15d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9215d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
