Dell is now coming under a lot of pressure to preinstall Firefox. I posted
about this a couple of hours ago. I bet he'll do something about it (not
just in the UK where it has been available for almost a year). Bear in mind
that Michael Dell uses Firefox on his Ubuntu Linux laptop. It's a shame that
Microsoft made IE impossible to remove. The fiends. Gates' deposition video
comes to mind... "if we put it right in their face, so to speak, they will
not have a reason to use something else [Netscape]".
