When asked to respond to the availability of Safari on Windows, Mozilla’s vice-president of engineering, Mike Schroepfer, expressed his desire to see Apple supporting open standards for the web:
“It’s hard to predict what will happen with market share but we are excited to see the resurgence of interest in browsers. The availability of Safari on Windows reinforces the importance of browsers as critical components of today’s Internet experience. Mozilla’s mission is to promote an open, interoperable and participatory Internet. We encourage Apple to put their weight behind open standards and the open Web to help ensure all browser users, regardless of operating system or browser, can enjoy the best possible Web experience.”
Microsoft’s Kevin Kutz, a Windows business director, has this to say:
“With hundreds of millions of Windows users, it’s not a surprise that a company that makes web browsers would want it to work with Windows. We’re glad our customers have a choice in browsers, and we think that Internet Explorer 7 is the best available.”
I think one digg user summed it up best:
Mozilla: *YAWN*
Microsoft: *YAWN*
Opera: “Why didn’t anyone ask us?”
