Microsoft teams up with Mozilla

Deals with the devil

THE MOZILLA Foundation and Microsoft have decided on a common icon between their two browsers.

According to the Vole Bogs, here, Volish servitors met with John Lilly and Chris Beard from Mozilla and agreed to use the Firefox RSS Feed icon in IE too.

The blog says that Microsoft will be using the icon in the IE7 command bar whenever a page has a feed associated with it, and it will appear in other places in the browser whenever we need a visual to represent RSS and feeds.

"This isn't the first time that we've worked with the Mozilla team to exchange ideas and encourage consistency between browsers, and we're sure it won't be the last," the blog said.

IE7 will get a public pre-release build next year. µ
