HP and Firefox

[Pauly]

Effective immediately, HP.com will formally adopt the Firefox browser as a standard browser.

Make sure your Web Section is as smooth and polished in Firefox as it is in IE. Don't let your customers find your bugs first!

Paul, where did that first quote originate?

HP Officially Recognizes Firefox

**** Policy in effect starting December, 2004 ****

In Autumn of 2004 we have seen a dramatic increase in customer usage of the Mozilla/Firefox browser on our Web site. Mozilla has positioned their Firefox browser as a more secure, faster tool for browsing the Internet. Firefox has received a lot of visibility in the press, and this is contributing to the rapid conversion rates in our user population.

In order to support our customer's efforts to better control their online experiences (through the use of browser choice, security related issues and speed) we need to ensure that all pages will successfully render in this tool. To fail to do so would be a conflict with our Total Customer Experience (TCE) goals.

Effective immediately, HP.com will formally adopt the Firefox browser as a standard browser.

Maybe everybody else should follow suit.

We can only hope ;) But I expect microsoft will step up their game.

This is great.
Heres an inside tip, IBM does a similar thing.

They provide their employs with laptops (you can get a linux setup on a separate and easily switchable hard-drive as well. a very crappy version of RH9) and install among other (a lot of other) things firefox and thunderbird.
