Mozilla has accepted Microsoft’s offer of help
If you wish to run Vista in all its 3D graphical glory you’ll need a PC with more than 1GB of memory and enough processing power to land a space shuttle. The bottom line is that Vista won’t run on anything less than a modern, 800MHz processor and 512MB of RAM. You’ll still get a desktop experience that’s much snazzier than in XP. Make no mistake, Vista is a hefty piece of kit, requiring at least 16GB of hard disk space on which to install itself.
Otherwise, don’t worry, because ‘Vista is a serious improvement on Microsoft XP. It looks a lot better, generally works better, is more feature-rich and secure’ – Dailyrecord wrote.
Microsoft has offered to help the Mozilla Corporation port Firefox and Thunderbird to its forthcoming Windows Vista operating system. Mozilla has accepted Microsoft’s offer.
Both Microsoft and Mozilla appear keen to bury the idea that the two are warring tribes when it comes to open source. This recent move by Microsoft to openly welcome Mozilla and its browser, even though Firefox is the principle competition for its own Internet Explorer, appears to be part of a new trend for the company.
Vista is currently scheduled to be available for business users in November, and for consumers in January.
