I may hate to do it but I must agree with you.
It does not change the fact that Mozilla is a terrible application, that it
screws uses up in a monumental way. I installed Firefox and Thunderbird on
my Win2K about 8 years ago. It completely erased my hotmail accounts. It was
all Mozilla. I had to manually hack Mozilla's nodes from my registry and it
took a week because all it did on uninstall was to remove the desktop icon.
I could not get my hotmail accounts back, I could not get my IE
back--nothing.
Any software that does not want to uninstall itself gracefully is malware.
It is made by criminals. Mozilla is a reincarnation of Netscape and they
touted their email browser and there was a big hype. Like Sun Microsystems
with their ill fated java they threatened to ruin MS. Somebody wise said:
"MS has a track record of coming to the markets late but ruining its
competitors anyway." It is a very wise saying. It happened to Netscape also.
All those guys, and I suspect you are one of them, hate MS.
(Parenthetically, that fellow made this observation when he learned that MS
was entering the search engine market thus threatening Google. It was the
only instance MS failed, very ironically).
All said and done, my heart goes out for small businesses that try to make
ends meet, do innovations and a big fish steals their ideas, appropriates
them and ends up being a winner. But from the standpoint of the end user who
I am IT IS THE GREATEST THING IN THE WORLD. Had MS not been successful with
it we would have still used Netscape. The major and incredible achievement
of MS is that they integrated improvements made by Netscape into a massive,
absolutely enormous OS. You may not even comprehend the enormity of MS
support for all sorts if users. A lot of it is visible only to people who do
development and are nosy enough to dig thru their websites. Kudos to MS.
Down with Mozilla. If they want to do something new they should start from
scratch. And it must be totally new, not rehashing of the old.
All those cheep slogans you throw in to defend your racket like: "people do
not understand the value of competition, etc." are cheep demagoguery on your
part, nothing more. I do understand the value of competition. It is reality
for me on a daily basis.
