I tried the developer preview of the new Flock browser tonight. Not bad, but it did crash on me (not surprising - it's not even a beta yet). It looks nice, though, and has lots of potential.
Well, Firefox has had its 100,000,000th download. This does not mean that 100 million people are using it, merely that it's been retrieved, cumulatively, that many times counting all versions. I, myself, have downloaded it at least 15 times, no joke. Thus, more than likely, 10,000,000 fans have each downloaded it 10 different times, whether due to upgrades (they require a whole new download, unfortunately), or simply just installing it on multiple machines, friend's machines, etc.
UPDATE: eWeek says that Firefox acknowledges that only 45 million unique people have retrieved the software, and that many of those have come back for different versions. I knew it! (Of course, I still think 45 million is too high, I still think it's about 25% of that.)
