Launch Day today

Hi !

For the OpenWorld launch, we pick the most popular area: the browser. The preferred software for this is Mozilla Firefox.
Internet Explorer will also be allowed, as it is needed for specific applications (notably INGENIUM), and is currently license-free.
No other browsers on IBEXI machines, please. If you have / ever want to install some other browser, write to Richa (richa_priyanka@ibexi.com).
Many of you use Firefox, and there is nothing much to using it, or moving to it. Millions of people round the world use it.
If you need help, write to our Change Champion Nitin Ghope ( nitin@ibexi.com); he will try to help you out. He is already on Firefox 3.0.

Yes, hours ago, Firefox 3.0 has been launched. And it's going for the Guinness World Record for the "most software downloaded in 24 hours."
You can get Firefox 3 from the official "Download Day" site: http://www.spreadfirefox.com/en-US/worldrecord/
Firefox's servers crashed because of the enormous demand for the browser update. They have been restored.
In 10 hours of launch 1,687,332 had pledged to download Firefox. "We think 5 million downloads is imminently doable," John Lilly, CEO of Mozilla Corp., said.

The article in Time.com (http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1815363,00.html?imw=Y) says:
"It has a number of new features that make it worth the minute or so it takes to download and install it. The most obvious improvement (there are more than 15,000 improvements is the "awesome bar," its update to the location bar). The new version is also faster and more secure, with pop-ups warning users if they're visiting sites that have been flagged for phishing or malware. The best part of Firefox 3, though, is how easy it is to customize, with more than 5,000 free add-ons that change everything from how the browser looks to how it behaves."

So download away. And be a part of the greatest attempt ever for the "most software downloaded in 24 hours."
