Another good testimonial from the Mozilla incoming mail bag today...
To whomever:
While I like your website, I love Firefox and Mozilla. It's so nice to have an alternative to the Internet Explorer drive-by ActiveX installation hell that most of my clients are going through right now. I've begun systematically switching them to your browser to keep the garbage off, the popups down, and leave their computers in a functional state.
I had a client who kept getting bombarded with adware left and right- I asked them if they wanted to be a guinea pig for an alternate browser, and whereas Ad-aware would consistently report 300-400 objects on a monthly basis running IE, they haven't had ONE ad- or spyware object show up on their computer since switching. It was a beautiful thing to behold. :) In addition, I've found that the tabbed browsing functionality is something that people really love.
Anyhow, you people make an excellent web browser and I'm more than happy to put your name in front of all my clients and encourage them to donate to the project.
Thanks!

What a great testimonial about Mozilla's ability to save time and money.
Thanks to Alexander Georgiev for publishing the interview about the Mozilla Project at PC Tech Talk. http://www.pctechtalk.com/view.php?id=2908 and to Mozillazine readers for the comments on the interview.

The Camino project seems to be moving along nicely. Mike Pinkerton is doing a great job there, and it provides addtional choices for Mac users. I haven't seen specific numbers that show the performance differences between Camino and Firefox on some sample configurations but that would be interesting data for someone to put together. I suspect that deltas in performance are narrowing.
We need good examples of Mozilla embedding applications like Camino, and like Minimo to keep the platform vision moving forward. Like Hyatt said a couple of years ago, "let a 1000 browsers bloom." ;-)
