another reason that the mozilla community and firefox is so wonderful. microsoft demoed activities in ie8 beta this morning, and by this afternoon, mkaply’s prototyped it in firefox using his operator work. totally, totally great. [obviously based on a great firefox platform and great work on operator earlier last year by mkaply and others]
operator -> activities in an afternoon

Excellent. It was actually interesting to watch the MIX keynote: Part of Microsoft is trying to do the right thing with IE8 and making sure that the web remains open and standard. Part of them is locked in their past mistakes (WPF and silverlight) and they do not seem to find the courage to do the right thing and cut their losses and focus 100% of their energy on doing the right thing.I wish they had done that mistake back in 1995 and try to push both IE and black bird.The next couple of years are going to be interesting: I really look forward to Firefox doing to IE what Apple is doing to Vista!
