[AccessD] Office 365

To the "normal" user the browser doesn't matter at all. They use whatever opens on the PC. They have no idea it's even a browser. Personally if it opens the BBC web site and a few others I don't care what it is. I can't understand all this "I prefer browser x over y" stuff.

ROTFLMAO.  Firefox is making huge gains in the browser war because Microsoft has refused to allow XP users to use the latest IE version.  Microsoft claims that without the "latest technology" their browser cannot be as good as it needs to be.  Of course MS is trying to sell Windows 7 into the XP crowd.

Notice FireFox works just fine with the XP crowd.

Uhh.. the Firefox side.  ;)  I pretty much have no use for IE unless I hit a site that I absolutely have to use and that site refuses to work with Firefox.  And guess what, with Firefox winning the browser war, more and more sites are dropping their "IE only" crapola.
