“The agreement, which the companies are set to announce Monday, is the first browser distribution deal with a major PC maker since the end of the browser wars in the 1990s, according to Netscape.” — c|net

Unfortunately, there are still people who think that Netscape & IE = mainstream browsers, and Firefox, Opera, et al. = niche garbage that nobody uses. *le sigh*

Are you implying that Mozilla is ready to sign with major manufacturers even with the costs involved?
October 3rd, 2005 at 2:26 pm
What are you implying? Has Mozilla finally got a deal with a computer vendor?
October 3rd, 2005 at 2:42 pm
This decision was about money, and nothing else. If I had to choose between the spam ridden interface of NS8 or IE for my first experience of using a computer, I wouldn’t need to be stating this.

So the first deal of such has to be with one of the most irrellevant web browsers? Is HP in the stone ages or something? Why not ship with Opera or Firefox?
October 3rd, 2005 at 2:55 pm
Ok, Mr. Rolling Stone…
btw. I can not believe HP is shipping Netscape 8, especially since they shipped Netscape 6 and were still mad about it.

Is it only a matter of time?
I’m excited at the prospect of people using Firefox straight out of a new PC box.
Too many people are just plain afraid of using anything other than IE when it’s been installed after the fact. :(

When I first read this entry bout this Major Deal with HP, I jumped for joy and hit my head on the ceiling, which didn’t feel to good.
I then went to tell my mom if I could get one of those computers since it’s gona come with Netscape 8, but then I remembered that I have Firefox, so I changed my mind because I already have the best!

Rafael, my mom says that if you don’t have something good to say, then don’t say anything at all. One time some cashier at a store didn’t have something good to say bout my moms weight, so he said something bad, and my mom did to right after she punched him in the face! My mom then went away for about a day, then the police called and said that we could now pick her up from jail. I wonder what she was doing there?

Doesn’t surprise me that a troll would be the first to post on this entry, followed by another, Rafael.
Bill Gates must be shaking in anger! LOL!

I cant believe HP have chosen the complex UI and options of Netscape, over Firefox and Opera. Is it really just down to the rendering engine, they really want both? It best be kept to Gecko by default, and even then, very few sites have problems, and novice users wont know to, or want to bother with understanding how or why to swap to Trident.
What are the chances they can be re-guided to the right choice of Fx, by Mofo/co, and others!?
October 5th, 2005 at 1:42 pm
I’m just glad there’ll be more people with a Gecko engine, to increase its market share.
That’s all I care about, really.

Dell perhaps?
October 15th, 2005 at 9:49 pm
I’ll bet IBM is next.

To the commenter above… I think Firefox and Opera used to be thought of as niche applications, but now they are certainly mainstream.

I’ll bet IBM is next.

I have to say, Netscape’s dual-rendering can be very convenient.
It is, however, more difficult and ugly than any browser I’ve seen in recent years.
If I were getting my first computer, I would very likely choose to use IE over Netscape.

The main reason is Netscape being able to run both Firefox’s Gecko engine (by default) and be able to switch to IE’s trident? Well, Firefox can do just that with this extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=1419

This really needs to be officially put to HP, because it could well swing it. I’m thinking a project at SFx for people to contact HP regarding this. What do we think, and are Moco onto this?

Netscape is so bloated lately :(

C’mon Blake, give us your opinion about Firefox 1.5 and your view on Firefox 2.0, we are eager to know about both.
December 3rd, 2005 at 3:14 pm
Firefox 1.5 is available now, the first major upgrade to Firefox since 1.0 shipped just over a year ago. Firefox 1.5 is the result of the contributions of thousands of volunteers from around the world. 1.5 is a midpoint on our track to our next release 2.0 - which will contain significant improvements to the user interface. The focus in 1.5 has been on developing various underlying sections of the application to provide a better overall user experience. We did not originally intend it to take this long, but you know how software is, and we wanted to get you the best software possible.

I respect the fact that no one on here has started a FF vs Opera debate, and that both browsers are mentioned as gaining steam. Those debates are usually very dumb.
