Firefox 276, IE 0

Firefoxlogo64x64 The browser wars are about to start up again (once Microsoft finally releases Vista), but Firefox continues to make Microsoft's browser look dumb. Internet Explorer, commonly referred to as IE, will have a new version (7) when Vista comes out. Naturally, users in the know call this new version IE7 (even the folks at IEBlog call it that). So someone bought the url ie7.com and posted some information about it... unfortunately, I don't think it's the kind of information that Microsoft wants to promote. Check out IE7.com!

Words of advice for Microsoft: Protect your brand(s) at all costs (this one would've cost you approximately $10 at GoDaddy.com).

How can Microsoft slip up like that? That was a big mistake. 100 to 1 they sue and get the domain name though, wouldn't be the first time.

It's just unbelievable.
