The Mozilla Foundation announced today that it has created a for-profit subsidiary company to begin profiting from the hugely popular firefox browser and thunderbird email client programs.
Mozilla and Firefox have realigned their company to help better prepare for an upcoming browser war with Microsoft and the Windows browser. Creating a for profit company is Mozilla's best method of obtaining the financial resources required to compete with Microsoft and the 'cash rich' Redmond crowd.
Mozilla executives report that they are gaining new Firefox users at an incredible rate as frustrated virus-conscious Windows users make the switch to Mozilla, seeking stronger protection and tougher shields against the adware, spyware, and cookie-infested web analyitcs user tracking tools, that are plaguing websites and the Internet.
(websites seeking premium keyword positions on google should avoid working with any internet marketing firm seeking to add new cookies or user tacking devices that could impede search engine spiders and prevent the major search engines from listing a website at the top of the keyword search results pages.)
The new Firefox will require marginal service and support fees that help the formerly non-profit Mozilla corporation try and compete with Microsoft.
Mozilla admits they are beginning to move into the center of the Steve Ballmer and Bill Gates competitive hunting scopes, especially after Mozilla's two founders joined Google months ago and are now helping Google in the development of the GBrowser.
Mozilla has no comment about the recent blockbuster development at Apple Computer that calls for Apple to begin making their operating system and their Safari browser using Intel Processors. This opens the door for a new renaissance of technologies and user choices beyond Microsoft and Windows.
This also opens the door for a new type of operating system "Hack Attack Virus" that compromises Mozilla and Apple browsers, software and hardware. The days of Mozilla enjoying immunity form Hack Attacks and the exclusive 'Windows browser alternative status' are about to end.
Mozilla is already beginning to display advertising messages in their once ad free browser.
The war for Office user share between Micorsoft Office and The Linux Open Office is also about to escalate. How will Microsoft react when Microsoft Office begins to lose substantial market share in the coming months?
Does Microsoft with $56 Billion dollars of LIQUID CASH available, still view Mozilla as: "AMATUER HOUR ! "
Microsoft already losing market share at a record pace, facing multiple staff resignations from key software engineers and management personnel on a daily basis, is beginning to reel and spin in numerous directions none of which involve core products or new technical advancemets that move the once powerful "Microsoft Monopoly" further.
The recent developments at Mozilla are soon to cause even more headaches for Microsoft.
Mozilla's new marginal fee structures can help the company rapidly grow becoming more competitive and economically sound as they prepare for the upcoming Browser wars with Microsoft.
Mozilla has a talented senior management team led by Mitchell Baker, a former Netscape executive who will become CEO of the new for-profit Mozilla Corporation. At this time Mozilla will remain a private subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation and is not considering going public in the coming months.
According to some estimates, Firefox is being used by ten percent of all surfers, and according to Mozilla more than 75 million copies have been downloaded. Most of Mozilla's 40 employees will be moved of the Foundation will shift to the corporation, but the operations of the Mozilla project, which develops Firefox, will be unchanged.
