Microsoft has never made much secret of the fact that keeping rival browsers down is a key part of its business plan.
Way back in 1996, Steve Ballmer (then still only the deputy CEO) cheerfully proclaimed: “Every minute of every day, we’ll ask every Microsoft employee to ask themselves, ‘Have I done anything to increase our share of the Internet browser market?’ That’s the business we’re in; driving up our share is incredibly, incredibly important to us.”

Mozilla Corp. yesterday released the second alpha version of what will become its Firefox 3.0 Web browser. The release is the latest milestone in a plan to put the open-source browser in users’ hands during the second half of the year.Dubbed “Gran Paradiso,” the preview is still geared toward “Web application developers and our testing community,” according to release notes on the Mozilla site. The company warned general users to steer clear and stick with the 2.0.x and 1.5.x production versions.
