Here’s someone with too much time on their hands. msfirefox. Strangely, the link works fine in MS IE7, but not in Firefox 2. An unnamed individual built a website imagining what life would be like with Microsoft running Firefox.
I love the catch phrase “It’s better now… Like seriously”, and the minimum required specs. The person takes opportunities to swipe at everyone; Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, every manufacturer of anti-virus software, you name it.
I’m not sure how long this site will survive.
There is a download feature available, and it does trigger an actual file transfer request. Somehow, I don’t think I’ll try it out. Anyone willing to give it a whirl, please let me know…
Have a question and need quick answers? 
I used links on an Ubuntu based server I maintain, and the download asks you for your OS version and then it provides you with a download to internet explorer 7. This confirmed my suspicion that the site is really about bashing ms for providing a browser that basically already exists. Of course I am sure there are some people in this world that enjoy ie7. As for me I’ve been a mozilla user since the suite first came out and then I switched over to the stand alone versions after their 1.0 releases. FF 2 has some really useful enhancements. I just wish coders would better optimize their code. Just because hardware these days is so powerful is no excuse to write unoptimized code.
