I didn't get a chance to talk about this at the DAM, but yes, yes,  
yes.  The best thing that has ever happened to Linux users of  
Firefox, IMO, is the adoption of it by tens of millions of Windows  
users.  They indirectly fund the development, provide orders of  
magnitude more test coverage to the benefit of all users, and  
evangelize open source on the desktop whether they know it or not.

The second best thing was blizzard getting us past the freetype2  
mess, but that's another story entirely.
