This article uses Apache and IIS to disprove both points. Apache is open source, and more popular than IIS (70% market share and rising, I believe), and yet it is historically the more secure of the two. The number of attacks is a factor, yes, but hardly the only one. Quote:

EDIT: The patch I mentioned before for the Tabbrowsing Vulnerabilities has been granted review+ . It is now only waiting for superreview and approval-1.7.6 , and it will be checked in to the mozilla.org CVS . [ 12-17-2004, 08:24 PM: Message edited by: LennonCook ] |

These days there's no excuse for 'IE only' web sites, I use Coldfusion for my App. Server and have no trouble accomodating any browser you want to use. Quote:

I don't understand exactly why IE is integrated... It comes with the OS, so I'm not paying extra, or regaining any money by not using. Firefox is free, as is mozilla and netscape. Where does the money cme from?

As to Firefox and Mozilla, they are free because the authors have no interest in charging for them. Their incentive comes from making a program that the community will be happy with, which will also give their customers more reason to buy larger software packages from them in future. Also, they do sell Firefox on CD, aswell as selling a guidebook, and other donationware. If you're wondering, then, why they don't charge for their products anyway, I see it like this: Ziroc doesn't charge us for using Ironworks, either (and has, on several occasions, blatantly refused to even consider it). We are here because we want to be, not because we can afford to be. It is the same with Mozilla corp and their products. Mozilla corp accept donations aswell, in the same way that Ironworks does (although, they aren't forced to live off these like Ironworks is). As to Netscape, it isn't free. They don't charge you money admitedly, but they have plugs to other AOL products (products which often have spyware,, and hence $$$ for AOL), and Netscape can't be personalised at all: everything is locked to default. |
