In today's show for Friday, October 20, 2006, Michael Villa talks about browsers.  It was a busy week with Microsoft releasing IE 7.0 and Mozilla offering Firefox 2.0 Release Candidate 3.

Mike goes back in time to share his experiences during the first browser war between Netscape and Microsoft. From 1995 to today it's been a wild ride!

Finally, as with every episode we bring you a podsafe music selection. Listen to hear Mike's choice.
