Story: UK government wakes up to Firefox
Posted by: Liam Wright (Friday 26 August 2005, 1:44 PM)
I use Firefox at home, and think it is a much better browser than IE. I get really annoyed with businesses that do not support this browser properly. They seem to feel that it is not worth the effort for supporting what appears to be a small market share.
However, the people that are using Firefox are more likely to be techincally minded, and may even be using several different computers with different operating systems installed on them. These people are the most likely customers of your service, they are not those people who blindly use Microsoft products because everybody else does.
The wake up call is comming though. With the advent of the Mac mini, and the possibility of Intel based Apples in the near future, it may be the situation shortly where customers cannot use the latest version of IE, as it isn't available for their operating system.
