According to bug 231062, Firefox 1.0 will ship with a msi package. This is really great/good/neat news, because it means that compagnies will be able to spread Firefox on their desktops system very easily, with the tools they normaly use to install Microsoft security patches, and other software. Today .msi is the standard way to deploy massively applications on microsoft's desktop systems. This also means that the Mozilla Foundation will be able to announce that Firefox has been installed on thousands of systems at once, meaning that it's browser % share may take a few % just because big compagnies with thousands of desktops are switching to Firefox. I've been asking for such support for about year, this as always been declined, until today. Great decision, smart move.
.MSI finaly coming to mozilla
