At the end of the day it's about efficiency and productivity. In my world, I can get a lot done faster, and better with Firefox. I put Firefox on all my PC images about a year ago. I told my users it was there to try, but they could choose between IE and FF. I didn't push either one, it was their call.
I can comfortably say that about 90 percent of my users switched to Firefox on their own. -----Original Message----- From: Rod Trent [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2008 11:09 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Firefox 3.0 Download Day At the end of the day, isn't it about browsing the web? -----Original Message----- From: Micheal Espinola Jr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2008 12:05 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Firefox 3.0 Download Day GreaseMonkey is SO much more than just Gmail. GM scripts are invaluable IMO. There are so many things that can be tailored to exactly how you want to see it.
