Microsoft Free Fridays
June 14th, 2001
Dave Winer is proposing Microsoft-Free Fridays as a response to Microsoft’s attempts to leverage their monopoly to increase their control over the Net/Web. It’s an interesting idea. His plan is to not allow access to his site using IE on Fridays. One blog, Unicast has already implemented this, and is talking about going so far as to not allow Windows users.
That would probably be too difficult for many people to accomodate. I have not been keen on Microsoft’s moves of late, so an IE-free Friday may be a good idea… and it’s a chance for people to try out Mozilla, which is starting to become a nice browser. (That’s Mozilla, not Netscape.)
