[gui-dev] Re: IE 7 vs. Firefox: you talked, we listened [ANCHORDESK]

[Philippe Verdy]

One of the articles I posted to CNet's Anchrodesk was just pisked up
today by its editorial team.

In that artcile I was defending FireFox face to the malicious attacks
that CNet's journalist made against FireFox simply because Adobe Reader
failed to create a decent plugin that would work correctly in FireFox,
and so wanted users to keep on using Internet Explorer, notably because
there would be a IE7 release.

I still defend users that have already trusted Bill when he announced
that Windows Me would be a revolution for their security and bought an
upgrade from Windows 98 or 98SE, with absolutely no benefit.

See it, and comment it on the site if you want. I trust open-source
development as the alternative, and FireFox is a prooof that things can
be better, and that it won't kill commerce (yes there are commercial
distributions of FireFox, Thunderbird and Linux).

As I defend true open standards (and I have just signed the petition
against OASIS new patenting tactics for XML processing). So I have
stopped trusting Bill and its "Trusted Computer Initiative":

(note the article contains a revized version of my message, with small
edits to correct faults in my English, but all is there)...
