David, you said, "At some point, we're certain Mozilla will frame the market as open source versus closed, but the real issue will be what works best for the typical, non-techie mobile user."

C'mon, David.

We "arrived late" to the Desktop party when the largest and most powerful software company on the planet dominated the desktop web browser market with a monopoly of about 98% and every new PC shipping with it's product and we didn't frame the market as open source versus closed then.

We built a product that we thought was superior for "the typical, non-techie," desktop browser user and that product has about 120 million users today and represents around 20% of the web and open source was never a major part of how we framed the market. Firefox is doing well because it's a better product than IE and we've been able to demonstrate that to about half a billion people who have downloaded it.

What in that history makes you think that we're "certain" to make open source the focus of the conversation.
