IBM Backs Firefox In-House 296
An anonymous reader wrote in with the link to a CNet story describing IBM's adoption of the Firefox browser for internal use. From the article: "Firefox is already used by about 10 percent of IBM's staff, or about 30,000 people. Starting this past Friday, IBM workers could download the browser from internal servers and get support from the company's help desk staff. IBM's commitment to Firefox is among its most prominent votes of confidence from a large corporation."

who cares ? What is the promised land here ? Everyone lets switch to Firefox and teach Microsoft a lesson ?
Personally, I prefer Safari over FireFox
Yeah Safari rocks. No ad filtering, no configurability. Brushed metal. Hardwired Google search. Built on stolen KHTML webcore that Apple pilfered from KDE.
But I don't blame you, Firefox is a pile of shit on the Mac.

These "MS shops" will eventually pay for their lack of vision. Told them, we did. Listen, they did not. Now, screwed they will be.
