Really. Bad. Timing.

Today's the day Firefox 3 comes out. (10:00 Pacific time, apparently.) They want to set a record for most downloads in a 24-hour period.

Today is also Microsoft's monthly "Patch Tuesday." Thousands or millions of PCs will be downloading patches automatically.

Anyone else expecting network delays today?

I'm really, really glad I downloaded the last episodes of "Nadia Omake Theater" yesterday... (Yes, it's finally completely fansubbed.)

Anyone tried Firefox 3 yet? I downloaded it the other night and it seems to work beautifully. A lot faster and smoother than version 2. And with some truly
nifty features.

Apparently, http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/06/19/firefox3_bugs/]they missed a couple of bugs. I can wait for a week or two...

Browser vulnerabilities, much like rising petrol prices and the inexorable progress of the Italian national team into the knock-out stages of major football
competitions, are a fact of life.

So says the article in the link. Let's not shoot the horse yet, folks.

Which, My friends, is why I never rush into a new piece of software. Like Rob, I'll give it at least a month for the hackers to find the worst of
the exploits and the dev teams to fix them before I migrate.
