From: Bear Bottoms on 16 Feb 2010 06:52 Is Mozilla becoming too much like Microsoft? In a strange bit of irony, Mozilla increasingly relies on Microsoft's playbook to promote Firefox adoption. The answer to the "Why Firefox?" question increasingly sounds the same as the answer to "Why Windows?" Namely, community/application support to the exclusion of significant improvements in its performance. At its foundation, Mozilla's argument sounds similar to Microsoft's: we may not be faster, but we have a better community. http://news.cnet.com/8301-13505_3-10453399-16.html -- Bear Bottoms Owner of Freeware website: http://bearware.co.nr/
