Irvin, I think the point is not about actual usage per se - it's more about momentum. Firefox does appear to be gaining more momentum than any recent offering - and getting far more press in the trade rags. Adoption in Europe is outpacing the US. As has been mentioned here - the real test is whether corporate IT dept take the leap. That may be a ways away from happening. The one thing about Firefox I hated was the hoops I had to jump through to get the JVM to work. I finally had to resort to reinstalling the JRE... not good. Other than that I like it - surprisingly fast at times.

Perhaps I worded it incorrectly. What I was referring to is assertion that a LOT of users don't have a computer. Where's that data coming from? And what's a LOT? My apologies to Barney if it appeared as a personal attack. It was not the intention. I do, however, stand my initial statement that the're no real data suggesting Firefox being (usage-wise) any different that Opera or any of the other rather-marginal browsers, that stay in the 1-2% usage. We are VERY FAR removed from a "browser war". I do like Firefox, though :-) >Easy now.. you cant claim that Barney's numbers are FALSE.. anectdotal maybe. > >The numer of users and number of downloads dont really match I agree, >just take it to an IT department etc. > >besides.. check the usage of firefox in sites more like as that is the >important part! > >MD > > >On Mon, 06 Dec 2004 17:16:03 -0400, Irvin Gomez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Silver Sponsor - RUWebby http://www.ruwebby.com Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:186370 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
