I think this is an awesome thing to do. Kudos to Microsoft (Y)

+1 again. Firefox is becoming a serious rival to Internet Explorer, but they're not trying to force them out or spread vicious rumours or false information (Apple, anyone? :whistle: ). They congratulate them on their success. It was only the launch, but I think it can officially be deemed a success from day 1, thanks to the Download Day campaign. A very smart move.

I'd just like to offer my congratulations to Mozilla for Firefox 3. It's actually pretty good! It's also good for IE, as FF3 is gonna convince Microsoft to put some extra effort into IE8, so everyone's a winner! :D

.... It might be poisonous!

In all seriousness, that's cool though. Microsoft shouldn't be waiting after the competition to improve its products. Sure that's more economical, or at least you might think and have all your guys focused on other projects but look at this now, Firefox is serious and Opera deserves more attention but not enough PR and Marketing stunts on their side.

Maybe it is like the road to the super bowl... where all teams play...then it is down to two... then the loser congratulates the winner. (Just Kidding)...I use them both... Mostly use Firefox except on pages like

http://freedocumentaries.org/index.php

Where Firefox playing long files seems to slow down.

Though I think IE would be like a Ford without a Chevy (the competition) Plus they probably feel that people deserve a choice.

that is just my 2 cents...

Agree with you there. Shame the EU doesn't. There's nothing wrong with bundling your own software with your own operating system. That's the point. Apple do this, and no one cares. Microsoft does it, ridiculous fine!

This whole cake thing has me wondering what Microsoft has in store for Mozilla. I reckon they'll try and work with them on the next IE/Firefox and create a new browser, like "Mozilla Explorer" (yes, it's a crap name). Either that, or they might take the easy way out, and just buy Mozilla! :D

The Netscape/Mozilla and IE teams have been pranking each other and such for years, It's definitely a friendly rivalry.

Edit: Yeah, I can't see MS releasing a GPL'ed web browser.

      I always thought the moon gets a lot of impact because there’s no atmosphere, so surely building a moon base is only going to end in disaster?

    • Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams, here is a first look

      Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams, here is a first look by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is heavily used in work and school environments, and perhaps one of its core but extremely useful features is the ability to record meetings. In past years, Microsoft has further improved upon this functionality by integrating AI, but you do need a Microsoft 365 Copilot license to leverage most, if not all, all of those capabilities. Now, the Redmond tech firm is making another significant enhancement in the area of Teams meeting recordings. Up until now, if you wanted to access Teams recordings, you had to arduously locate the meeting invite and navigate to the dedicated tab, or go to the cloud storage location such as a SharePoint site. This was a rather overwhelming activity, especially if you don't remember the name of the meeting or the meeting occurred quite a while ago. Microsoft is now attempting to solve this problem through a dedicated Recap app that consolidates all your recordings. This centralized experience will allow users to find all recordings from the past 30 days and also offer access to other related services such as transcripts and AI-powered summaries. Customers will have the option to search for recordings, filter them, and review multiple meetings by generating AI-powered podcast-style recaps. The Recap app will list all available recordings in both thumbnail and list views. The former is shown below: And here is how Teams users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license can select multiple recordings to generate a podcast-style audio recap: Microsoft has emphasized that the Recap app is pre-installed in Teams but it will not be pinned by default. Users will able to navigate to the Teams app store from the left rail, and pin it from the apps section. It will be enabled by default for all users once it becomes available. It's worth noting that while Teams recordings and transcripts can be accessed by all users governed by existing permissions, AI-powered features like intelligent summaries, audio recaps, and video recaps will require a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. The Recap app will be generally available to Teams users on Windows, Mac, and the web by the end of next month, with mobile support coming soon.
