| 293666 | 2004-11-18 22:53:00 | From Cnet (news.com.com) Published: November 17, 2004, 5:40 PM PST By Paul Festa Staff Writer, CNET News.com Microsoft, under pressure to add new features to Internet Explorer, said it might do so by way of the browser's add-on mechanism. The company has been steadfast in its insistence that it won't issue a new standalone IE, which saw its last major upgrade in August 2001. After sustaining a series of security crises with IE, Microsoft issued a major upgrade with the Windows XP Service Pack 2. But that IE update is available only to people who use Windows XP (news.com.com)--about half the Windows world. Read the rest of this here (news.com.com) Me thinks that MS is getting worried about the amount of people starting to use other browsers instead of there’s ;) |

| 293668 | 2004-11-18 23:40:00 | Well, that's one good reason for considering moving to Firefox, especially those users to haven't/don't want to take the plunge in changing their OS to XP. The features and addon components available for Firefox puts it well ahead of IE. |
