What the.. Please tell what is going on..

Ok, go to the download site for Microsoft Defender

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Now, just press continue. You'll go to the verification instructions. But this thing is.. The screenshots to help you download the program, and from Firefox..

Why would Microsoft be putting up screenshots of Firefox, instead of IE7?

Very wierd :\

Discuss.

Ah, I see. So IE already has this installed, whereas FF and other browsers dont..

Bah, I feel like a spammer now

**Joey** · 09-16-2006, 08:05 PM

They're not supporting Firefox, but they're not stupid... Firefox is about 40% of the market share with Web Browsers... They're not gonna deny all those people access to their downloads because they want people to use IE.

They just detected you were using Firefox, and gave you instruction accordingly.

**whitehawk** · 09-16-2006, 09:50 PM

40% of internet users use FF? Wow, I didn't think it was that high..

I think we've all seen the Firefox download box...

**skeletor132** · 09-16-2006, 11:56 PM

That's because it detects what browser you're using.

I remember reading something at 7ech about Mozilla working with Microsoft to make Firefox compatible with Vista...

Of course, I'm not too sure.

(NOTE: Yes, I did have to bypass the swear filter to enter the name of the dead site. I don't think that it would do any harm, but if the mods want to remove it they can do so.)

Well basically; it isn't. Maybe 40% of people on these forums, but certainly not 40% of the entire internet.

Firefox now owns 11.8 percent of the global browser market share, said Net Applications, a jump of .5 percent from July's 11.3 percent. Internet Explorer, meanwhile, now accounts for 83 percent of browsers used to surf the Web; that's down from July's 83.5 percent.

Maybe I read that it was a "40% grotwth", or something...

I know I read 40% somewhere, in relation to Firefox.

Microsoft isn't a bad company.. They have really made a great turn around in the last few years. SONY on the other hand has only proven they are terrible with the PSP.

**FLai** · 09-17-2006, 05:12 AM

Microsoft have had RSS links on their site since b4 IE7 was out. Its a little strange but maybe they have finally got with the program.

**Anon** · 09-17-2006, 05:14 AM

Ya... I don't think they need what Apple says is "culture". They have professionalism. That is what companies want. Not Fruit.

So? There have been RSS readers since a few years now. Oh wait! You're not one of them fanboys who think that Opera/Mozilla invented RSS right?
