Firefox hits 400 million downloads
10/09/2007 by swordfish.
The browser, distributed by Mozilla, appears to be enjoying exponential growth in terms of downloads. From its launch in 2004, it took one year to reach 100 million downloads. A year later, it hit 200 million downloads.
In a message posted on its website, Spread Firefox, Firefox’s community marketeers, thanked users for helping to achieve the latest download figures. “With your amazing efforts, Firefox has reached 400 million downloads and demonstrated that not even the world’s most powerful companies can keep people from a better, safer, and faster web experience,” the team wrote.
It is difficult to judge the exact share of the browser market enjoyed by Firefox. The most recent statistics published by W3Counter suggest that Firefox holds a quarter of the market, but most other organisations releasing such statistics suggest a slightly lower figure.
QBS PC Help have always recommended this excellent browser and its good to see how well it is being taken up by the web community! See our Firefox review.

Google taps Capgemini to challenge Microsoft Office
10/09/2007 by swordfish.
Global consulting firm Capgemini believes that Google Apps — Google’s online alternative to Microsoft Office — appeals to more than college students and small businesses.
The two companies on Monday are expected to announce a partnership under which Capgemini will offer desktop support and installation services to large corporations that use Google Apps Premier Edition.
Google Apps — which includes web-based Gmail, a calendar, and document editor — can fill a role in large corporations even though the product suite is used mainly by individuals and small businesses, according to Capgemini executives.
These web-based applications make sense for employees who typically don’t have their own PCs, such as factory line or retail workers, where the cost of a PC and Microsoft Office is hard to justify, said Steve Jones, head of SOA at Capgemini.
