The One Program
The future cannot be contained in one piece of software; there will always be users for whom it does not work. There exists a lot of software which, while popular, is not very useful. Conversely, many useful programs are lost in obscurity. Software is born from want. If users don't find an existing program that fits their exact need, they look for another. Many users have the skills to create alternatives for themselves, and the ones who don't will buy from them. So even though large companies may hook a majority of consumers, they'll never catch us all.

Well, I'll enlighten you. Because Firefox and Linux are the best. Woot woot!
ReplyDeleteNo really, every OS and browser can do pretty much the same things. IE was just historically a pain because versions 6, 7, 8 created lots of cross comparability problems.
Chrome has a much faster svg engine that Firefox, but it leaves more artifacts.
