• #18193 — Firefox 4 Support for Windows XP — Представитель этого кластера

  Почему Firefox 4 не отказывается от Windows XP? — alizar

  Смысл: The main idea is the comparison between Microsoft's strategy of forcing OS upgrades by dropping legacy support in IE9 and Mozilla's strategy of maintaining wide accessibility in Firefox 4 to support a large percentage of the global user base.

  While Microsoft dropped Windows XP support for IE9 to push OS upgrades, Mozilla kept XP support in Firefox 4 to avoid alienating nearly half of the web's users.

• #20963 — Mozilla's Rejection of the Corporate Browser Market

  Корпоративный рынок не интересен для Mozilla — jeston

  Смысл: The main idea is that Mozilla consciously avoids the corporate market to focus on the general user, contrasting with Microsoft's strategy of using long-term support to attract enterprise clients, while companies like IBM suffer from this lack of corporate-centric stability in open-source browsers.

  Mozilla clarifies it does not target the corporate market after IBM criticized its decision to end security updates for Firefox 4, a situation Microsoft used to promote Internet Explorer's long-term enterprise support.

• #18258 — Microsoft's Strategy with Customized Firefox

  В аду сегодня холодно: Firefox от Микрософт — alist

  Смысл: The text analyzes Microsoft's tactical decision to distribute a customized version of the Firefox browser to increase the market share of the Bing search engine, illustrating a preference for service dominance over browser exclusivity.

  Microsoft offered a customized Firefox browser with Bing as the default search engine to strategically increase Bing's market share.

• #1280 — The Obsolescence Risks of Internet Explorer 9

  Sauce Labs: IE9 может устареть через пару недель — alizar

  Смысл: The main idea is that Microsoft's slow, biennial release cycle for Internet Explorer creates security risks and technical obsolescence, contrasting unfavorably with the rapid, automatic update model used by Google Chrome.

  Jason Huggins of Sauce Labs argues that IE9's slow release cycle makes it obsolete almost immediately compared to the agile updates of Google Chrome.
