- Firefox 2.0 alpha 1 is available. Very little new external functionality as yet; mostly this alpha for developers to poke and prod at.
- Bill Gates admits (again) that M$ blew it with Internet Explorer and its lackadaisical browser support and development since IE6 came out five years ago. Though he followed it up with all sorts of “IE7 will rock!” rhetoric.
- Windows Vista, the next Windows OS, has been pushed (again) back to 2007. Though IE7 may (or may not) be released before that as a stand-alone browser. (I thought I recalled M$ saying that wasn’t possible, at least when it came to unbundling IE from the OS.)
