火狐浏览器背后的少年英雄 - blakeross.com
...It's been a long and unpredictable journey, but Firefox 1.0 was released to the world tonight at 1 A.M. I was 17 when we created Phoenix and 14 when I joined the Mozilla project. I feel like I've grown up working on Mozilla, and it's incredibly rewarding to have arrived today....
专门推广firefox的网站 http://www.spreadfirefox.com/ 几乎被挤垮，现在只剩下首页还在。
Note: This is a highly stripped down, text-only version of SpreadFirefox to help us handle the heavy traffic we're experiencing as a result of the launch. Check back later to see the site in all its glory. Thanks

Why I Like Windows
http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/
First, IE, like Windows, is a platform. That means that by choosing IE, customers choose a rich, healthy ecosystem of additional offerings. You can see a collection of these at Windows Marketplace. I know people whose first activity, after starting IE, is clicking on the MSN toolbar or the Google toolbar. Friends of mine at Microsoft use browsers “powered by IE” like Maxthon and NetCaptor for tabbed browsing and other great features. Every day I get mail about different IE add-ons; they keep on surprising me. Of course, there are some great ActiveX controls out there as well (who doesn’t use Flash or the Adobe PDF reader?).
Second, IE, like Windows and the rest of Microsoft, is committed to Trustworthy Computing. You’ll see that commitment with the next beta of Longhorn. XPSP2 demonstrated that commitment. The work in Windows Server 2003 around “hardening” showed that commitment. Our work on security updates for a browser released in 1999 shows that commitment. I’ve talked with customers running Win2K and IE5.01 who have solid business reasons for not changing OS or browser. They understand that they are running an “old” platform. They want to be as secure as possible in that choice. Microsoft is there for them, and will be for a long time.
