ZDNet Australia is reporting that Microsoft does not believe Mozilla Firefox is a threat to Internet Explorer. Steve Vamos, who heads the software giant's Austrialian operation, does not believe IE's market share is under attack from Firefox. "I'm not sure that that is the reality," he said. "I have seen comments around that but there is nothing I can refer to that really supports that." Vamos admitted that he has never used Firefox.

Next month's headline: Steve Vamos dumps MSIE for FireFox

If Microsoft wanted to kill me, that would be the way to do it. I'd be sure to rupture something if I laughed that hard.

Microsofts information ministers

Why do i se parallels to iraqs former information minister?... ;) Complete lying prick, but you can't really get mad because the man is only doing his job... :D
haha. glad to see i'm not the only one who's made that connection. :)

Somehow I remember reading the ZDNet story earlier ...

Where is the content? The two paragraph blurb is overshadowed by the comments.
That's strangely appropriate. (-:
I don't understand AC's comment. FYI there is a somewhat funny write-up about IE over at ZDNet http://reviews-zdnet.com.com/AnchorDesk/4520-7297_16-5570819...
You should really post that link on the main LXer list! It has more content than many other supposed stories and it's funny.
bstadil, Microsoft have nothing to say. The article is reporting that a Microsoft Australia official doesn't think FireFox is a threat to MSIE. Well, duh? Big surprise. Like he's paid to say that MS.au are as terrified of FF as French and Prussian bowmen were when when they understood what the new Yew-based English longbows were all about? The article is 100% bereft of meaningful content itself, so it's entirely appropriate that the comments overshadow it.
