five million firefox 1.0 downloads

The Firefox 1.0 release has just hit the 5 million download mark. We're seeing a much swifter uptake for 1.0 than for the Preview Release which took more than a month to reach 5 million downloads.

Additionally, the majority of our Windows downloads, so far, have come from IE users. (A few interesting data points on that: en-US is about 53% IE downloaders, el-GR is an amazing 86% IE downloaders, and en-GB only about 45% IE downloaders.) update: en-GB, el-GR, etc. is not necessarily where the download is coming from, it's the specific localization that was downloaded.

We're clearly reaching a new world of users and we're doing it at a faster pace than any time in Mozilla's history. Thanks to everyone that's helping spread the word.
