Microsoft might even have a sense of humour (see attached pic)...

In honor of today's Firefox 3 release, Microsoft's Internet Explorer team gave a cake to Mozilla. The tasty treat, which prominently displays IE's blue "e" icon, just arrived here at Mozilla headquarters in Mountain View.

The cake congratulates Mozilla on shipping Firefox 3 and expresses love from the IE team. Microsoft's IE developers also sent a cake to Mozilla in 2006 following the release of Firefox 2, so this is clearly becoming a tradition.

And eight million downloads in 24hrs isn't bad

Mozilla's Firefox 3 release event yesterday was an epic success. The servers logged over 8 million downloads during the 24-hour download day, and Mozilla has declared victory after exceeding its initial goal of 5 million download

That's a shame Dig, still the take up of Vista is not that great, many people are still installing XP on new PCs.

Great download :):)

Dell will not load XP i guess they get a cut for vista loads.

regards dave;)

I'll be interested to find out how the identity information needs to be included in the page to show on Firefox.
