They didn't mention that in the article, and clearly made it sounds like IE was only available in one language. The fact that international languages trailed by 2-3 weeks is hardly a big deal in my mind. Why is this an advantage for FF3 anyway? Shouldn't they be comparing to IE8? Right now they're bragging that FF3 has fewer languages than IE 7, 2 years later? Pretty bizarre thing to brag about... Well that’s just silly.

Much faster than FF2 and no more memory leaks. Also much better than IE6, 7 or 8 although IE8 is moving in the right direction. IE can't come close to FF's customizability though. Tried previous versions of Safari and that was just horrible. Opera always looks nice, but just misses the plugins from FF. FF3 is the best browser ever.

Why does this article claim that IE 7 only supports one language? IE 7 ships in every language that Windows ships in. Which is a lot of them. I just looked and IE 7 definitely supports MUI, and the MUI version says it supports at least 32 languages. And then there are more than 55 additinoal languages supported via Language Interface Packs. So yeah... where the heck did THAT come from? Wait, what? Why does this article claim that IE 7 only supports one language?

They slowly start to come around, but everyone keeps up the criticism against them. We get to the present, where Redmond has all but said they're done fighting open source and open standards, and will at least attempt to work in harmony. Yet, the very people who started the finger-pointing to get them to move in that direction continue to be critical. Can't you guys give them *any* credit at all?
