While I think it's still possible to reach 10 million within a month of 1.0's release, I'd say it's more likely that downloads will fall short by a day or two. Still, nine million downloads of ANYTHING in under a month is damn impressive. I think it really speaks to the evolution of Mozilla that you now measure downloads of your flagship product in hundreds of thousands.

I think that it's safe to say that nearly everywhere I visit in the web is promoting Firefox. Great job in marketing it Asa. Your marketing was why I out Firefox ads on my site. I wasn't aware that I could...mind you this was early in my website owning days. Keep up the great work! Besides, IE does not fully support web standards, and who wants to deal with that amoung the many other things?!

I'm a big fan of Firefox. I have access to 10 servers connect to OC3 lines. I can download, 10,000+ copies a day everyday over the holiday!
