Honestly, I don't think the success of Firefox is really about tabbed browsing, extensions, and all the great features that IE 6 doesn't have. Not at all. I think the success is due, in part, to it being a great, performant browser with useful features but mostly to it being an easy-to-use-alternative. All the Windows users I know that use Firefox don't cite its features for the switch but it seems to be that the popular opinion is that Microsoft's software is buggy, crash prone, and virus infested, and Firefox, for them, seems to be immune to all of that or is somehow "cleaner." So, all that to say that I don't think it matters what Microsoft adds to IE 7. Really, I don't think the growing population of "normal people" who use Firefox know much about it's "more advanced features," its just an alternative to Microsoft in general. |

That seems like a legitimate point. I agree. |
