Firefox 2 vs IE 7

Last week I posted an entry comparing IE 7 with Firefox 1.5 and the venerable IE 6. Lot's of folks have since asked for Firefox 2 to be added to the mix. The reason we didn't initially include Firefox 2 is because it was not at the time officially released and so we felt it unfair for it to be included.

IE 7 vs IE 6

Back in April I wrote an entry complaining about IE's performance as a Web 2.0 platform:

"From a Web 2.0 application developers perspective (developers who use a lot of JavaScript and DOM manipulation), IE 6 is plagued by a number of well known problems such as its ability to readily leak memory. Regrettably, Microsoft's next release of Internet Explorer, IE 7, does little to resolve these issues."

I am happy to say that I was wrong.

Thoughts on Office 2.0 (Reprise)

(FYI: I've made some enhancements/corrections based on Zimbra's participation at the Office 2.0 Conference; pointer below. May or may not be worth a quick reread.)

Yes, the "2.0" hype is getting out of hand. However, just as with Web 2.0, the technology evolution we are participating in is sufficent to at least justify the discussion. So while I am still dubious about the Office 2.0 moniker, there is no doubt that the Web authoring, sharing, and collaboration technologies under the Web 2.0 umbrella are allowing us to do many of the things we used to do within proprietary Office 1.0 desktop applications, and to do so from any browser on the net. So before you dismiss Office 2.0 as yet another buzz word du jour, please consider some (modest) over-generalizations:
