The Return of “From Redmond with Love”

spacer

It has been a tradition ever since Firefox 2: Whenever we ship a major Firefox release, the Microsoft Internet Explorer team sends us a congratulatory cake.

This is a fine gesture. Hat tip to our fellow browser makers in Redmond. Remember: Competition is good for business. spacer

    Gaël: No worries, your English is great spacer

    And yes, we’ll be shipping Firefox faster in the future because we do not get enough cake otherwise. Seemed like the reasonable thing to do!

    Hah, no that’s not a cable. That’s the kind of sugary material that cake bakers use to make such graphics on top of cakes.

    I hope no-one thinks the Microsoft engineers baked this cake, stuffed it into an envelope and had it delivered 900 miles south by a circus bear on a unicycle. While I think that would be pretty awesome, I hate to disappoint by revealing that they just told a local bakery what to draw and where to deliver it when they’re done.
