Mozilla tells large corporations to get on their bikes
Big cheeses at the the open source outfit Mozilla have told corporate users who don't like its breakneck upgrade cycle to get lost.
This week Mozilla Corporation shipped Firefox 5 which was only three months after it shipped Firefox 4. In six weeks we will see Firefox 6, and Firefox 7 six weeks after that. So Mozilla is releasing upgrades as fast as its browser rival Chrome.
...
But Mozilla seems to have had an attack of grumpiness about the problems of corporate users. Firefox evangelist Asa Dotzler posted a comment on Kaply's post to tell him that they could all go forth and multiply.
Basically he seems to think that with two million Firefox downloads per day from regular user types, Mozilla does not need corporate users. He said that the enterprise has never been, and shouldn't be a Mozilla focus.
He added that a minute spent making a corporate user happy can better be spent making many regular users happy.
