I was passed a link to a PC World preview of the upcoming Firefox 3.0 release. In addition to the usual smoother UI, bug fixes, and feature updates, Firefox 3.0 will introduce several new components that should expand offline Web application functionality. The inclusion of DOM Storage, an offline execution model, and synchronization should all work together to allow for wider adoption of software like Google Apps at the enduser level.

As the breadth and depth of the competing applications expand, perhaps Microsoft's 90-percent stranglehold on the preinstalled and post-PC-purchase installation suite market will loosen, if only a bit. Then, too, if Windows Vista is any indication of what lies ahead, the company's software will continue to require ever more awe-inspiring hardware--a far cry from the light and nimble Web-based applications Mozilla engineers envision.
The piece covers more than just the new functionality, of course, and should be of interest to anyone looking forward to 'Gran Paradiso'.
Blueugh FF, a nasty memory hog with poor standards support. Yeah I really want that ¬_¬
I did a public study once for an article I wrote with a nerdy friend of mine for her A-level english coursework and of all the firefox users we found
61% had never heard of Opera
24% cited their reason for using Firefox was because they were against MS's policies (why they're evil I don't know, and 89% of those ran Windows)
