Internet Explorer 7.0 Will Be Based on MozillaTuesday April 1st, 2003Gandalf writes: "Today is The Day. After less than one year from the Mozilla 1.0 release, Microsoft agreed that Mozilla has more power inside than any other browser. They decided to base next release of IE on Gecko." Aren't april fools jokes meant to be a bit less obvious than this? Having thought about it, to the average C-Net reader it probably isn't that obvious. I just saw a flying pig! Someone got the headline wrong. After heavy discussion on the drivers mailing list, it was decided last week that Mozilla 1.5 will be based on IE. <i>Having thought about it, to the average C-Net reader it probably isn't that obvious.</i> The page isnt hosted on news.com but on 12.190.116.226/news.php?LFuZG1b3 No joke. The next version of apple's os's will be OSXXX, coming with large amounts of pre-loaded porn. Insider info also states that part of the OSXXX code will be large chunks of Windows ME code. mozillaquest? It's a bug that pages can spoof URLs so effectively - see http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122445#c26 for a simple fix. Btw, Fuckedcompany has been using a similar spoof in its April Fool's stories for years. This news is unacceptable. I wish it is april fool joke. M$ canNOT finger Mozilla! PLEASE LEAVE MOZILLA ALONE. But this has been already posted to MozillaZine in February. :) http://www.mozillazine.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6107 Is this for real??? Not a joke??? I am probably the biggest fool here... For about ten minutes I was very happy that MS had decided to go this way, but I became suspicious when the "news.com" ;) article said they were doing away with frontpage and outlook; no way MS would do that. And then I saw the URL... Oh well. A monopolist deciding to go with their competitor's browsing engine? Hardy, Har, Har ... PS: I wonder who dreamed that up? |
