Firefox Hits 25 Million Downloads, Microsoft Speeds Up IE7 Release

Firefox has reached 25 million downloads, giving it a 10% market share.

But IE sucks compared to Firefox and I'm not going back. I've switched to Mozilla's Thunderbird email too and it's great.

Explorer wasn't due for an update until the release of Longhorn in 2006, but Bill Gates knew that's waaay too long to wait.
