IBM is moving to Firefox as its default browser

Saying it out loud: IBM is moving to Firefox as its default browser | Blog | Bob Sutor: "Some of us started using it because it was new and fast and cool. I tried it for those reasons, but I still use it for the following ones:

Firefox is stunningly standards compliant, and interoperability via open standards is key to IBM’s strategy.
Firefox is open source and its development schedule is managed by a development community not beholden to one commercial entity.
Firefox is secure and an international community of experts continues to develop and maintain it.
Firefox is extensible and can be customized for particular applications and organizations, like IBM.

...There’s another reason we want to get as many of our employees using Firefox as soon as possible, and that is Cloud Computing. For the shift to the cloud to be successful, open standards must be used in the infrastructure, in the applications, and in the way people exchange data.
Firefox is innovative and has forced the hand of browsers that came before and after it to add and improve speed and function."
