Spolsky Makes the Switch

Posted on June 1, 2003

Well, I never thought I’d see this, that’s for sure — Joel Spolsky, head of Fog Creek Software and a former Microsoft development manager, has decided to switch to Mozilla Firebird as his default browser. Wow! Spolsky has caught plenty of heat over the years for his Microsoft advocacy, so it warms my heart to see that even he can recognize Firebird’s superiority over Internet Explorer.

Now we just have to get the other 90% of the market that still stuck on IE to give Firebird a whirl and see what they’ve been missing!
