The State of Open Source on Firefox's Fifth Birthday (PC Magazine)
[Announcements] Posted Nov 10, 2009 20:10 UTC (Tue) by ris

PC Magazine looks at the growth of open source software. "This week marks the fifth anniversary of Mozilla's Firefox browser. Launched on November 9, 2004, the software now boasts an estimated 330 million users. Any company or product than can achieve that manner of popularity in such a short period of time is clearly a success, but Mozilla shouldn't get all of the credit. Most of the congratulations belong to the open source movement."
