Microsoft wants to help aid in the development of Firefox. It sounds pretty scary, doesn't it? If you're still here, let me tell you that it's not as bad as it seems. Sam Ramjii, Director of Microsoft's Open Source Software Lab, has extended an invitation to the Firefox and Thunderbird developers asking them if they'd like to visit the company's open source research center. Microsoft's hopes are that, in a four-day span, the company can provide the open source developers with enough information to get the popular web browser running smoothly on Windows Vista.

Opera's not serious competition.
The poster who said that anyone who believes that Microsoft has seen the error of its ways is just naive, was right on the money. Microsoft will go the way of Franco, a believer in its own dictatorial nonsense till the expiration of its last breath.
But hopefully the King Juan Carlos of the software world will then also be able to just tell the reactionaries where to stick it.
