Firefox 2.0 getting ready for release

At last, the much awaited firefox 2.0 version is now getting ready for public release.
Tomorrow we would be able to download the latest release candidate of firefox.

This release will be followed by release candidate 3 which will be represent final code for the long awaited 2.0 browser.

Firefox, a browser from mozilla, has captured about 15 % of the global browser market.
It is said that even though firefix 2.0 is yet to be released, work is in full swing for the development of version 3.0, whose expected date of release is late next year.

And I have one more news today. Microsoft has agreed to open the source code of vista kernal to antivirus companies like McCafee and Symmantic so that they can develop their softwares accordingly. This was announced today by Steve Balmer today. He also said that this move will increase the compliance with the European Commission's demands.
