Heh, it’s the launch for Firefox 1.0 today, and I haven’t been able to get though to the mozilla website all lunchtime. You’d have thought they’d have expected a bit of interest and laid on some extra bandwidth. Maybe they did, and yet interest has exceeded all their expectations.

Well, I really hope that interest is high – Firefox is a great product, and blows Internet Exploiter out of the water – but for the server to get slashdotted off the internet on launch day won’t look too good to any potential new users surfing on by.

(Obligatory conspiracy theory – it’s a Denial of Service attack orchestrated by Microsoft.)

(Aside – it’s nice to see the BBC covering the launch.)

Update (14:45): mozilla.org seems to be OK now, so get over there and get downloading!
