Thanks Microsoft. You just shot yourself in both feet. This should be damn entertaining for the next year. While you rush to patch and update your browser, which I guess you feel will shortly be replaced by the explorer in Windows Vista, you just made FireFox the best browser in the market.

I recently updated my work computer to the officially released IE7. You went from the easy, built-in-explorer that ran fast and properly displayed poorly encoded websites,  to a poor-man's version of open source Mozilla. We have FireFox and the and the bare-bones Opera. We don't need IE7. I can't believe it doesn't work with your own Active X scripting. Do you realize how much JavaScript you are making developers recode? I hope you come up with a run-as-IE6 plug-in real soon.

I hope you have big plans for the explorer in Vista. I hope the IE7 that comes shipped, rocks. I hope it makes FireFox rush to get 2.0 out of beta and ready to compete. Not being able to properly display CSS and that funky blurry image rendering makes me wonder what you guys are smoking over there. FireFox has anywhere from 11% - 20% of the market, depending who you ask. I expect that number to even out by the end of 2007.

By the way I have been using Fedora Core 5 at work and I love it.
