Dumping my genius to the Net, in dullard-sized increments

I saw here that the Microsoft Internet Explorer team sent the Firefox team a cake in celebration of Firefox 2.0’s completion.  A bit odd, but I suppose if you don’t try to read into it too much it was a nice gesture from one group of developers to another — after all, who else could appreciate the painful march to a browser code release like a bunch of people who just recently did the same thing?

See?  I’m trying hard not to make a snarky comment.  Not everybody at Redmond throws chairs and rubs their hands together gleefully while hatching sinister plots to take over teh Intarweb.  ;)

Still, I have to wonder…will the friendly relationship still exist a year from now, when Firefox 2.x and IE 7.x are the dominant browsers and each team is pushing hard to outdo the other?
