Once it would be done, Firefox corporate usage could rise to the top I second John Silvestri about the fact that Mozilla doesn’t provides .MSI for its products so it’s harder to deploy for Win Sysadmins.

IE8 gets a tick for "Ease of use". They're forgetting that IE8 has *two* tools menus which contain different stuff. And *two* favorites menus, also with different things. "Internet Explorer 8 is more compatible with more sites on the Internet than any other browser." Big lol ... I guess that's why they needed to invent Compatibility mode/view? "Web standards: It's a tie" Again, LMAO. How is IE8 tied to either Chrome or Firefox when it comes to web standards? Hahaha, that table is hilarious!

I can tell you about a serious fail on Microsoft's part regarding IE 8: Compatibility: Microsoft SharePoint's explorer view is b0rked in IE8 yet works flawlessly in both IE7 and IE6. Interesting... It is kind of funny Microsoft even made that chart. I can tell you about a serious fail on Microsoft’s part regarding IE 8:

Compatibility:

Microsoft SharePoint’s explorer view is b0rked in IE8 yet works flawlessly in both IE7 and IE6.

Interesting…

OTOH, it's completely unfair to ignore Chrome's Incognito. Regarding Security+Privacy, it's funny how they fail to point out that they're more likely violating your privacy in the interest of security by sending every URL you visit to Microsoft. That is why I turn their phishing filter /off/ at the expense of security. This comment was happily written in Fx3.0.11. :) P.S. I just read further: "Neither Firefox nor Chrome provide guidance or enterprise tools. That's just not nice." They are *absolutely* correct, and I really wish Mozilla would put more effort behind this. This has kept me from implementing Firefox for a not insignificant audience. (I'd be long dead if I held my breath since it was stated that 1.5 would be released with an MSI.) Mozilla is missing a huge market by focusing strictly on home users.
