Cable Forum - View Single Post - YAFT (yet another firefox thread)

This is great news. And yet in my job I am still being approached by companies selling browser-based communications technologies that work in IE only. They usually have 'Microsoft Partner' logos proudly emblazoned on their sales material as well.

I am always delighted to tell them that I do not do business with companies that blindly re-sell M$ technology that abuses the first principles of the internet. And with FF taking an ever-increasing share of the market, I expect others will be delivering that message too. Hopefully we will soon see a cascade effect that will force these companies to start adhering to standards, which in turn will further open the possibility of more people switching to FF - or any other browser for that matter.
