Browser Wars – again

As part of my job and as a point of historical interest, I have been watching the sudden rise of the Mozilla browser, in the form of Firefox. This is one of the fear occasions where the open source world has developed a product and marketed it to non-technical users as a secure alternative to Internet Explorer.

I have embraced the new browser, and I am just getting used to the tabbed browsing features. Netscape have jumped onboard as well, releasing Version 8 of their browser based on the Firefox browser. In fact I have been using Netscape lately and like some of the added features. Unfortunately I have just discovered that it does not support the tablet PC’s pen entry function doesn’t work. This means that I have to go back to IE to write this up. Arghh!

This is something that I should feedback to Netscape or Firefox. I’ll update this post when I get some feedback (if I get a response).
