The biggest event in the software technology field last month was the official release of Firefox 3.0. Many authors have talked about how Firefox 3.0 creates world records. Indeed, more than 9 million of downloads within 24 hours are a Guinness world record, but I am more concerned with whether there are other perspectives to look at it.
I don't know about Firefox, but I'm interested in Software Promotion. The Guinness world record was created because Firefox had a good influence on users and made everyone very interested in the software. However, how to operate such an event made me more curious. From another point of view, the miracle created by Firefox is not how amazing the product version 3.0 is, but the Mozilla Foundation has offered us a good lesson in the promotion and operation of Firefox.
Recently, browsers have fought again. The biggest difference in the browser war over a decade ago is that the attacking and defending sides have changed their respective perspectives. At that time, Netscape was exactly the same as today's ie. It was also "a long release cycle, and the performance is decreasing ." In contrast, today's Firefox and several other browsers barely count as mainstream browsers. Just like IE, "the release cycle is short and the product performance is high ". Does this mean that the new round of browser landscape will change significantly?
Whether IE 8 will be as expected remains to be seen.
