Go Go Mozilla #
HP announced today that they will be providing the Mozilla browser with their HP-UX flavor of Unix. Previously they had only been providing Netscape's Navigator with the OS. Starting with their next release, expected sometime in June, they will include both browsers.

This is definitely a validation of the open-source model and that of the Mozilla team's efforts. Not only will HP be providing the browser, but they will also be backing it up with support and patches. To me this says that enterprise companies like HP believe that they can work with open-source and that projects like Mozilla are viable. |/open-source|
