Microsoft sends Mozilla a cake for Firefox 3

The guys at the Internet Explorer team at Microsoft sent the Firefox team a cake to celebrate the launch of Firefox 3.

Sean from Microsoft came by just a few minutes ago to drop off a cake for the Internet Explorer team. As people may recall, the IE team sent Mozilla a cake after Firefox 2 shipped and it seems that they wanted to continue the tradition.

Sean and I used to work together and I happened to be the one that saw him as he came in so he presented the cake to me and John Lilly and we then took it around to staff. I think people found it amusing and the E portion of the Firefox 2 cake, which is preserved in our freezer to this day, was pulled out for comparison. I must say, the new cake is much nicer (and much less brown) than the old one.

At least Microsoft has a sense of humor about it.

    I guess It pays to know the geeky stuff about Trojan horses. And no folks, I’m not talking about computers.

    Just shows they have a great sense of humour, though I wonder if it contained any… ahem… “surprises”, or “easter eggs”

    … You will be baked, and then there will be cake.

    Come on! Firefox introduced 3D elements to cakes long before Microsoft released this cake. It worked better and was easier to eat in the Mozilla cake too.

    Notice how the ‘e’ is curiously off to the left and down. Must have something to do with non-standards compliant font rendering.
