Firefox RC2 is Out!
This morning I awoke to find that Firefox RC2 is out! I've noticed a few issues on the Windows version, but that is probably related to the fact that I go through so many more page views on the Windows version, due to my work, and it's probably no more or no less stable than the Mac OS X and linux versions I also use daily. As I use Firefox, I'm amazed that there's so much effort and real improvement going into browsers these days. WebKit and the new SquirrelFish JavaScript engine... Firefox and it's improvements... it seems that the browser really is trying to become the application delivery vehicle these days.
I'm not sure where all this is going... the browser has a ways to go before it's going to compete with a desktop OS for application building. Forms-based apps are easy - like the green screen apps of old, form fillers are a big segment of the use of computers. But there's still a lot of things that are at least done a lot easier on a desktop OS, than in a browser. But it's getting less and less. Impressive work.
UPDATE: so far, I'm very pleased with RC2. It's working much better on Windows than RC1, and as that's the one I do the most page hits on, it's nice that it's working better. I'm hoping the good news just keeps coming.
