You understood perfectly well that I was talking about using the FireFox

Yeah, like that will happen

Wake up, we are only saying to get 100% coverage, you need to develop for

Thanks for the correction, only 2 versions of Windows.

Are their two of you?? Or...

And no one posted that

But that is the point, FireFox runs on all CURRENT OSes, IE does NOT. That

95, 98, and ME are disappearing fast, thanks to Microsoft dropping support.

Dude, it was your silly claim

It ain't a silly claim. It is the state of the world. Firefox runs on ALL

In the future, the only way to have 100% coverage will be with FireFox.
DonnieBoy | 12/12/06
|
|
I guess you have had your head buried
No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/12/06
|
|
But still, to get 100% coverage, your application MUST work on FireFox.

geez, you need your eyes checked

Of Course. "ABM"

We are just saying to get 100% coverage, you need to develop for FireFox,

FireFox is a simple download. It will be quite reasonable to require a

This is important: You are already required to download things for advanced
DonnieBoy | 12/12/06

Some folks just don't get it.
osreinstall | 12/12/06

The basic point is that people ARE willing to download for advanced

You still don't get it.

As of now, MS has no plans to add STANDARD features for rich interactive

Well, if they ain't a going to allow Firefox, they won't allow random

That is correct. Companies like to control their property

Not supported is not the same as will not work
Richard Flude | 12/12/06

Yes, that is the great thing about open source. No company can deny a port

I agree with you on this, we need a healthy browser market.

there are ways to get ie on linux

We really do want things like Google Earth to run in the browser, so that
