I'm trying to convert my brother who is a Microsoft systems engineer to Firefox, he would rather have lots of browser windows open and close the wrong one than convert over to the good side. For him his job revolves around the short comings of MS, he is forever fixing problems that system creates and has with 3rd party apps.
Keeps him in a (very well) paid job I guess.

He also told me the new version of windows has been pushed back (some flaws found) but soon the public will be able to download sections of the new version so when the time comes the main download wont be so big. Sounds like service pack 3 is going to be a nightmare though

It's the same old story again with the flaws and slow features

But also the same old story, in that people will keep using Microsoft's Internet Explorer. It's just there... and people just... use it.

Oh wow, they're going to have sessions! Oops, Opera already did that. And searchable history, bookmarks, and RSS. Oh, right, Opera can do that already. They're also having this saved bookmarks thing - in Opera that's the trash can

See, Opera is the best

Another reason to use FF.

I don't see what the point of that is. These people just happened to be at a conference by Microscoft last week where they talked about the new browser and software tools.

ETA: These are also people who actually don't think that Web 2.0, Web standards, and Microsoft are at odds, if that's what you're getting at. A lot of them have commented about Microsoft's new commitment to web standards. They believe it (I'm skeptical!)

Funny how these people are the same ones that dribble on about web 2.0 and 'their' web standards ...
