"Small-minded Mozilla mocked by wider world"
After reading this article, I don't think this is a case of "Small-minded Mozilla mocked by wider world" at all. I think it's quite the opposite: Mozilla putting the big boys back where they belong, sitting on their hands instead of stuffing their pockets. Do you concur?

Yeah I concure
It is a shame that Mozilla got bit for being inventive. Though I must say MS has been bitten by similar problems.
And the article says that Mozila pulled out the IDN support. I think that is wrong. I belive the disabled it by default and you can go in and set a variable to enable it if you want.
BTW jason, what do you have as a persentage of mozilla vs. IE users on your site. On my site I have a 30/70 split. I think the IE percentage is lower than the numbers often quoted.

Well, my numbers are skewed. First off, I use a significant portion of bandwidth on this site using FireFox. I'm logged for 10,000+ pages this month of 150,000. Also, this group as a whole is more tech-oriented.

I'll concur with you as well Jason, its always nice when the small guy can actually get something done. I personally use Firefox for its security (and i love tabs) and pluggins, so i think its great that they were willing to make a sacrifice to keep its users safer.
Hmmm, Safari is at 2.9% lovin' it. I realy wish people would wake up and Mac would take off. (yeah....and i am buying a PC for college, darn microsoft based ID program).

I mainly like it for the interface and security (not to mention unrivaled stability (ok, so unix has more...but really now...) I really think that PC is really a better idea for college just for integration purposes, especially for majors that require computer use. Just my .02, but before this gets too OT...i'm gonna start a new thread.
