Posted May 9, 200520 yr Microsoft's biggest worry, though, should be the huge success of Mozilla Firefox, the open source web browser. Faster and more secure than Internet Explorer, it is the first browser to seriously challenge Microsoft's dominance. In just nine months Firefox has chalked up 50 million downloads, although some are admittedly upgrades. Bill Gates is one of the people with Firefox on his computer, so I asked him for his opinion. "I played around with it a bit, but it's just another browser, and IE [Microsoft's Internet Explorer] is better," Mr Gates told me, and challenged my assertion that Firefox's 'market share' is growing rapidly. "So much software gets downloaded all the time, but do people actually use it?" he argued. Source
May 9, 200520 yr No way is IE better. It took me some time to get a feel for FireFox and get accostumed to it but ever since those first few days I don't want to use IE.

May 9, 200520 yr Author I am a FireFox user myself, and you know what, Bill Gates probably is too. He just doesn't want to admit it.
May 9, 200520 yr Yeah right. Only time I use IE now is if the website doesn't support FireFox. No massive update is going to make me return to the dark side either. :shifty
