I'm not sure why you are trying to cite a 16% figure as some kind of generally applicable fact from a site that now lists IE at 18.3%.

Those statistics are in no way representative of general usage.

This actually seems like a pretty plausible analysis. Reddit's culture of liars and attention whores is naturally going to make it a much worse venue for this kind of thing.

No, that is rewriting history. Mozilla was pretty much a failure by the time the Phoenix project started.

No, Phoenix was an exercise in actually producing something people wanted to use, and it was massively successful at that, while the suite was a complete and utter failure at it.

Utter nonsense. As evidenced by the incredible success Firefox had over the suite.

Do not use Iron. It is a nonsense fork created solely to earn ad money for its developer, while he spreads FUD about Chrome.

If you don't like Chrome, use Chromium. It has all the privacy features of Iron, but it is not developed by a lying asshole.

If those devs were that far divorced from reality, I really have no interest whatsoever in whatever they might have worked on since.

The Mozilla Suite was a bloated piece of complete and utter crap. Phoenix was actually a usable browser, and miles and miles better than the Mozilla Suite ever was.

This is just sour grapes by stubborn developers.

You win the price for the first actually funny application of this line.

And then they couldn't fit as large a battery any longer, and battery life would be terrible, and people would hate it.

You know what SeaMonkey is? It's what Mozilla was back when it a complete failure that nobody really wanted to use, and before the Firefox project finally made it relevant again.

So basically, since Microsoft has not sued anyone, we can just imagine that they would sue people, and then call them evil?

What.

So the fact that Oracle has sued someone over their language while Microsoft hasn't doesn't matter, it's still Microsoft that is more evil.

I mean, what exactly does matter, then?

Well, the thing is, this is actually happening with Oracle right now. It has not happened with C#.

So why is it that C# is the "trap" here, but not Java?

1. The Microsoft patent grant for C# is more permissive than the patent grant for Java.
2. Oracle is suing Google over Java right now..
