Alternative browsers shine

As far as I'm concerned, Microsoft ought to get out of the browser business. There are four non-Microsoft browsers that are much better, and they're all free. The company should simply package all four of them with Windows and let PC buyers choose the one they like best.

The four Web browsers I'm referring to are:
Chrome, from Google, at www.google.com/chrome.
Firefox, from the Mozilla organization, at www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/firefox.html.
Safari, from Apple, at www.apple.com/safari.
Opera, from www.opera.com.

All four are available for both Windows and modern Macs. All but Safari are also available for Linux PCs.

Opera has been around the longest of the four alternative browsers and is a good choice, but Firefox may be the best browser overall.

re: Alternative Browsers

Geeesh, can people really be that dumb?

Except for the gaming market, Consumers do NOT drive desktop technology, Enterprises do.

Besides IE, which of those "alternative browsers" can be pushed out, patched, maintained, monitored, configured AND controlled by AD?

Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?

That is why Microsoft will never "get out of" the browser business.
