[Year 12 IT Apps] Fwd: Random browser statistics

[Roland Gesthuizen]

I wonder if the autoupdate by default feature of Firefox is a credit. I also
suspect that the MSIE 7 and 6 users are either locked into an old SOE, just
don't know any better.  Margaret, here is a superb visualization you may be
looking for. Can anybody spot the unintended irony with Firefox? (compare
with logo)

Last year we co-installed our curriculum machines with a couple of browser
versions (MSIE, Firefox, Safari from memory ..) Really, it wasn't all that
big a deal once I worked it out with the techs and we didnt burn in hell. We
didn't burn in hell and I gave up being the browser dictator. It let me test
out some Firefox addons that I used with my ITA class. Staff or Student
users can jump into the pool dressed however they wish (within reason).

My son's school mandates a browser flavour (and version) to view the school
Intranet from home and I enjoyed the hour-long home challenge of making it
work on his Ubuntu computer, another parent might not have been so patient.
(BTW folks, HTML 5 has killed off frames and some goofy layer powered menus
so move on. There is NO excuse to at the very least not design these for
crossplatform browser compatibility as even my new school has done.)

Regards Roland
