[PLUG] Microsoft abandons IE8 development for Firefox?
http://www.bbspot.com/News/2008/06/microsoft-abandons-internet-explorer-8.html Looks old news by date. Hadn't heard though. If not anything else, at least the nightmare of accessing IE-only websites should end if this happens.

There is an eco system of web developers who design sites that work with only with IE using prop. tools.

I think that the original poster may be clueless about that that notice means when sent to a public list such as this.

Maybe the SMTP server that the OP used appended that message? Some corporate servers do that. I'm posting this through my company SMTP server, which might as well append such a message.

Re: [PLUG] Cloud Computing... ?
> > Humbly speaking.. how do we know the author's thoughts are not clouded :-) > > Looks more like "Gnu Linux" to me (i mean, "Cloud Computing" :-) > -- I quite agree with RMS. When we work locally at least data is with us. Cloud computing followed by SaaS is a dangerous stuff. There can be a lot of legal issues, for example, two years ago I did a story of Iran where US based companies were banned for offering any service in the nation. The entire nation came to knees as from basic emailing to ticket reservation and everything else depended on MS and other proprietary technologies. Now, where were they going to get support from? They switched to GNU/Linux and Free Software and they are building upon it. Now, since the companies operate globally how and why should the parent nation control that? What if India refused to sign Nuclear Treaty, and US puts embargo on India Google, Yahoo, and all US based companies asked to stop operations in India, everything will come to hault (Though Indian being a software power it may not happen still). You will lose all the data/appliaction to access that resideing on servers of those compnies. If you have data locally, you will still be alive and cicking. In the world of cloud computing/saas, we need more tranparancy, no vendor lock-in and neutral control of governments for companies operating globally.
