Microsoft goes to rehab?

Following up on my righteous indignation of last Friday, CNet gets some props for trying to get MSoft to comment more officially on the status of IE updates.

Given that the author of the quote was a security guy, one might think that security updates will require Longhorn, but that the statement can't be generalized beyond that. CNet quotes a MS rep:
"There will be continued innovation and improvement"
Yeah, continuing where they left off in 2001. How can we convince Microsoft to acknowledge IE's mismatch with standards and commit to a course of action for getting in synch?

In the long run, the Mozilla  public bug database, where one can actually be heard with regard to feature requests and issues,  could be a major factor in the upcoming browser wars.

A final note on this issue, without the blogging world, I doubt CNet would have picked up this tidbit.

A fresh look at the Mozilla.org experience

J.K. offers a fresh look at getting started with Mozilla.  It isn't as easy as it should be -- for a variety of complex reasons.

I encourage my regular moz.org readers to give it a read.
