The Mozilla Foundation and Microsoft have decided on a common icon between their two browsers.

According to the Vole Bogs, here, Volish servitors met with John Lilly and Chris Beard from Mozilla and agreed to use the Firefox RSS Feed icon in IE too.

The blog says that Microsoft will be using the icon in the IE7 command bar whenever a page has a feed associated with it, and it will appear in other places in the browser whenever we need a visual to represent RSS and feeds.

"This isn’t the first time that we’ve worked with the Mozilla team to exchange ideas and encourage consistency between browsers, and we’re sure it won’t be the last," the blog said.

IE7 will get a public pre-release build next year.

"... encourage consistency between browsers ..."? Give me a break :rotfl:. If this were April I'd say this was an April Fool's Day joke. Regardless, it is a joke for sure. There goes the neighborhood. Need I remind you of how M$ teamed up with IBM to KILL OS/2, one of the greatest OS's that was ever released. It did all the things that M$ has been claiming and trying to get their crap to do. It truly did run windoze better than windoze. The memory management was true multi-tasking; not the pseudo crap that M$ has. Sorry, that's a sore spot with me!

Isn't that what Microsoft has always done pic a part the smaller companies still their ideas and then turn around and charge the consumers for something they stole is what they're doing here if the news source is genuine and that's why I posted this is Mozilla selling out the consumers? I hope not
