Firefox is definitely known for having some pretty crazy and viral marketing plans so it looks like Microsoft felt like they had to step it up a notch. They are now taking their advertising campaign to the road in hopes of letting the world know about the new Internet Explorer 7!
IE 7 reportedly received 3 million downloads in just the first four days and with Firefox 2 officially being released under 24 hours it makes you wonder how they are doing. The Firefox download counter feed says that there have been 234,680,290 downloads total but I forgot to check what it was at before the new release.
I wonder what Mozilla plans to do for a unique marketing campaign to give people a little push to make the switch. I guess the first thing they did do was create some cool new buttons!


i used to think i hated internet explorer when i was learning CSS and trying to develop a site that looked the same in firefox as well as ie.
but it wasn’t until i started trying to implement javascript in ie that i learned the TRUE meaning of hate.
I’m sure many of us can’t help but smile when we read that because we have been there before.
