De Bertoli switches to Firefox
'In moving to the free Firefox, he did more than just install a web
browser that rivals Microsoft's Internet Explorer, which comes for free
with every PC running the Windows operating system. The CIO defined a
radically new desktop interface for the company and forced his software
suppliers to comply with his technology direction, which had a heavy
emphasis on open standards so he would no longer be locked into any one
vendor's products.
Firefox is a small and streamlined web browser created by the
US-based charity The Mozilla Foundation from the bones of the Netscape
and Mozilla browsers. It runs on all desktop computers and supports
most languages.
Firefox is often paired with its open source sibling, Thunderbird,
a free email client that competes with Microsoft's Outlook in the
enterprise.
ON 80 Windows PCs, Mr Robertson uses Firefox downloaded from the
web; on 20 Linux desktops he installed Firefox as part of a customised
system that runs from read-only DVDs. It's safe from accidents and is
replaced with a simple hardware swap.
Mr Robertson used these systems at new sites with heavy demand, and where existing Windows users weren't affected.
