    Hi Arie,

    Thanks very much for the heads up on the MS Newsgroups discussion. I must say that I am duly impressed, and have been reading some of the comments. How splendid it is for Mozilla and Microsoft to play nice!

    I was also glad to see MS recommending Mozilla and Firefox when the latest security hole was announced. It could be that Firefox may well be a worthy oponent for IE. After all, competition makes for better consumer products....

    I know for a fact that plenty of people working at MS use other browsers and in particular FireFox ;)

    Yeah there was a guy who would pop in at Mozillazine I think (lover of Moz or FF or both) who ended up being an MVP. He was rather quiet about it, and I can't say I blame him given a lot of childish comments made by fanboys etc over there. At any rate, did you guys follow the link to read that actual thread? Here it is in case you didn't.

    I especially enjoyed the playful sarcasm at the end of the thread. But as someone already said, it is very good to see them objectively analyzing FF after actually using it, instead of just trashing it. Shows they have class.
