Microsoft Acquires Mozilla FireFox!

External Link
November 21, 2006 1:42:03 AM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums
I wasn't to sure I saw things correctly when I went to the FireFox homepage to download FireFox 2 onto my notebook.

But much to my surprise, I wound up at the MS FireFox home page!



I have not heard of anything about this, and it took me quite by surprise. Did any of you guys hear of anything like this happening?

How do you feel about Microsoft's acquisition of FireFox?

That's certainly one of the more original jockes I have come across lately. Hehe
I especially liked the bit about security:

"3rd Party Opt-in

We appreciate your patronage, and plan the virtual sex reality in the next update CCS (completely complex sex), coming in the middle of december.

Our debute will consist of a lucious female santa that gives all good boys whatever they ask for, and all the naughty boys a good spanking.

Oh goody, first I'm gonna be real good, tha get the 'pressies'....then I'm gonna be real, real bad so I can go across her knee.

And NO - MS dosen't own Linux....


Maybe not...YET, but you'd be surprised at just how much MS actually owns and markets under alternate labels/brand names.....deeper investigation into components and software can often reveal Microsoft is the 'parent' company/manufacturer.

MS will never own Linux. You can't own something that is free and is not owned by anyone.

One of these days you all will open your eyes...

well no, MS can't own Linux, but it can package a distro like so many others, and sell it.

You need to open your eyes my friend. SuSE is currently sleeping with MicroSoft. The news I here is together, they are speculating on developing a hybrid Linux/Windows distribution.

Ain't that an eye opener?

That's f**king sick. Of course Bill's always late, the Mac boys got there first, just as Steve did the first time, well... when he 'jacked Xerox.

Here's another one for ya, only it does the penguin a big favor in the fight against Microsoft. Xandros

I especially love, "In a world without fences, who needs Gates?"

Gee, I wonder what MS SuSE will do to the Mac OS? That will be interesting. I think it's interesting enough booting the Mac OS to current many Windows boxes. Link

I suppose you never heard of "The Great Wall of China"?

Anyway, nobody really "needs" anybody, but I suppose when you hold a majority of the market share by a LONGSHOT....well you draw your own conclusions

Not true. I hang out at Linux forums most of the day these days and everybody is pretty much ditching SuSE becuse of what they did. I dig up some links for you later. The story is suppossed to be that Novell did this to keep MS from sueing them over what MS claims, MS claims that the Linux kernel uses some form of MS code.

So anyhow talk to you later.
