Don’t be shocked for this is true. Microsoft was the first one to approach Mozilla corp. actually. The reason being that Microsoft wants Thunderbird and Firefox to play nicely with Vista.
A week ago, the head of Microsoft’s open-source lab invited Mozilla developers to Microsoft’s Redmond, Wash. campus for a four-day work session with the company’s Vista engineers.
“We have, of course, been testing on Vista, and Rob Strong has done some work with Ed Averett to ensure that we take advantage of the new ‘Default Program’ infrastructure,” Beltzner went on in his message.
Default Program is a Vista feature that provides a single interface where users decide which software does what job, such as playing music files or browsing the Web. It’s meant to replace the settings scattered inside applications, like the “default browser” option within Firefox and Microsoft’s own Internet Explorer.
