   29 Jul 2005 ~ 12:01am mmonnin Thats number is total bull****! The same 20 million or so people have downloaded all different versions of the browser. They are making people download a whole new version instead of patching it. I have nothing against the browse, just mozilla trying to cover up the amount of people actually using the browser.

   30 Jul 2005 ~ 10:19am Tim I downloaded it on my Windows 2000 laptop and tried it. It was okay, but I'm used to IE6, and I never seem to have any of the "problems" that most people have with IE6 that would make them want to switch to Firefox.

   Agreed. Fantastic browser, far better than IE, but that number is a ruse.
