The word “Corporation” in “Mozilla Corporation” is one dead givaway…

This is, IMHO THE linchpin issue for Linux. The MS driver layer is the ONLY thing keeping MANY people from making the switch. The good ol' boy cabal of big player hardware and software manufacturers will make that a tough nut. Perhaps not uncrackable, but tough... A significant percentage of the public using an OS that is not corporate controlled? That is a "worst nightmare" for most big business and world governments. “…hardware vendors… tak[ing] Linux seriously and releas[ing] drivers for Linux…”

With law-enforcement You never get the slightest compensation for financial loss. The European Union under the commissioneer Mario Monti never received the fine/penalty from Bill Gates. This demonstrates what a corrupt justice system we have. To Firefox exists a workbench so that if You ever encounter a flaw You can correct it. This is in IE even if You buy an extraordinary expensive IE software developpement kit by no means the case. Short & decisif conclusion:Throw the uneducated Bill Gates in a correction camp without any possibility of a bail until he payed the charged facturation I sent him more than twice. Postskriptum: I will not wait too much longer but will soon fetch him wherever he goes.

WhenI hear about firefoxie on my trusted channels, maybe I will check it out, meanwhile, I don't know what's on the other side. Better paranoid than sorry. I don’t think I need to.

Yes FF market share may be 15%, but a lot of people still run it on Windows, whereas people tinkering with Linux are people who are already thinking about migtrating from Windows to Linux. Running a Linux Desktop gets easier by the minute. As soon as Linux distros achieve cross compatibility, and more hardware vendors, not just nVidia, decide to take Linux seriously and release drivers for Linux, Ballmer and Co. wil crap their pants. It'll be... Redmond, we've got a problem. Linus Torvalds and Linux are MS’ worst nightmare, not Firefox.

Somehow the story is incomplete, and I think it's because of this statement. Is there any basis for it? “Despite its success, however, Mozilla’s fans are becoming increasingly concerned that the organisation is moving away from its altruistic roots and becoming a fully fledged money-making operation,” The Daily Telegraph adds, pointing out the next Internet Explorer has many features inspired by Firefox.
