Funny, but in an article titled “Are the Browser Wars Back?” on the MSN Slate, Paul Boutin, the writer of the article, tells of his own switch to Firefox. So I guess Microsoft might give up sometime soon? (probably not) ;-)

Scob didn’t get me, but it was enough to make me ditch Explorer in favor of the much less vulnerable Firefox browser. Firefox is built and distributed free by the Mozilla Organization, a small nonprofit corporation spun off last year from the fast-fading remnants of Netscape, which was absorbed by AOL in 1999. Firefox development and testing are mostly done by about a dozen Mozilla employees, plus a few dozen others at companies like IBM, Sun, and Red Hat. I’ve been using it for a week now, and I’ve all but forgotten about Explorer… Once you’re set up, it still takes a day or two to get used to the interface and feature differences between Explorer and Firefox, as well as the fact that your favorite sites may look a little different… But if you’ve got time to make the switch, the peace of mind is worth it.

Ahaha so Microsoft recommends against itself. Interesting.
