Firefox 2.0 Released

So the release of IE 7 didn’t really make much noise at all, at least not in the positive way among the IT community which is finding it crashing OWA, no Administrative templates and a slew of people trying to block it from autodeploying. Big step for Microsoft nonetheless.

Another potentially quiet milestone this week will be the release of Firefox 2.0. If you’re in USA and happen to speak english you can download it right now.

As a friend of mine mentioned over the weekend:

I learned a long time ago to never install any software that ends in “0”.

So test it, play with it, but be careful. Check out the release notes to see whats new with it.

Update: Indy from the comments links to the following bashing of people that damage Firefox by linking directly to the ftp site. I particularly enjoyed the comments in their blog post:

I think you should look at your internal practices rather than admonishing a community that adores you.

That said, would you like some cheese with your whine?

Nothing really to add to that..
