Firefox Exec Says Windows Bundling Is a Bad Idea 413

eldavojohn writes "The Firefox executives say they don't want to be bundled with Windows. Firefox architect Mike Conner also said this of Opera, 'Opera's asserting something that's provably false. It's asserting that bundling leads to market share. I don't know how you can make the claim with a straight face. As people become aware there's an alternative, you don't end up in that [monopoly] situation. You have to be perceptibly better [than Internet Explorer].' He also told PCPro that they are worried about becoming the next monopoly just like Microsoft is now."

Or, making what was arguably Vista's best and at the same time worst feature (UAC) something that works without making itself so intrusive as to be the first time users desire to disable?!

Funny, since that is one of the things they've done! It's really easy to change the UAC level of annoyance, and at default it doesn't kick in on user initiated actions and is generally much less annoying than in Vista (which in my opinion wasn't that bad anyway!) Try the beta, you might be pleasantly surprised.
