If the European Commicion says something its like a baby that says “mom”. Mom will love it, but so what? I dont think that a “Choose-browser-Popup” will change a lot.
The problem is that so many people think “Computer – thats Microsoft”. I can’t believe why anybody uses MS-Office or the IE. But my father will install MS-products if he has the choice. The problem is a question of trust. So – I think – Mozilla and its products have to work on “popularity trust”. Otherwise the European Commissoon Settlement won’t change anything. Seems to be easy, but …
Best wishes, Martin

Robert, I disagree strongly with SeaMonkey being excluded from the ballot. It’s a distinct product with a distinct leadership and it’s unfortunate that browsers with 1/10th the usage of SeaMonkey are included while it is not. I hope this changes.

Unfortunately the rules for the balloting screen rule out SeaMonkey being on the list while placing others there that may have much less market share. But I guess that’s life when you have a not-so-little-any-more brother like Firefox being attributed to the same “vendor” (whatever that means in open source).
