(think your mom, or grandparents)Firefox is not going to be the market leader as long as installing an update is this complicated! Those types of end-users are going…

He’s right

Hmm, JP seems to have a pretty good guess about what my opinion might be. Truth is, even with my geek soul, I don’t care what Microsoft calls their next operating system. I’ve never really cared about the name of any software. Call it whatever the hell you want, my decision to use it is…
