FYI, a recent and otherwise on-point LinuxWorld article on Firefox and XULRunner article misquoted me at the end.
My comment was that Mozilla Firefox browser gained market-share at the expense Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. Firefox’s early success was propelled by its open source, open standards and Open Web approach, while Microsoft Internet Explorer’s proprietary, single vendor solution stagnated. Duh. =)
Thanks to Paul Kim at the Mozilla Foundation for catching it.

SubscribeAh, open source and free software. I still get a warm fuzzy feeling, when I read about it. And the best thing is, that we are developing further and reaching into areas, never thought of before!
Just recently, Arte, a French and German Television program started to put broadcasted shows of theirs under CC license for everyone to download, enjoy and use.
We are getting further with this!!
Free and open Standards FTW!
Tyler out!
And here I thought Firefox’s success was due to the fact that it didn’t crash all of the time and you could turn off the pop-ups. Just kidding.
