[dba-Tech] Firefox

Ted Samson, the writer of the article, writes for many e-magazines like
InfoWorld, PCWorld, TechWorld and so on. He has long had a history as a
absolute Microsoft supporter and it has done him well as he has always had
access to the latest and greatest from MS.

His article is long on opinion and short on details. He may be right on
target with his facts and observation but OTOH the article might just be a
MS hack job.

PS He was the guy who broke the story on IEs super-fast graphic rendering
engine but it turned out to be a setup challenge. 

I will wait and see more facts, from other tech writers before accepting his
version.

Yep but there's no substitute for quality. Here FF has here reched "use only
when necessary" because of its crashes & weird slowdowns.
