Firefox Victory - Microsoft adopte l'icône orange des flux RSS en provenance de Firefox

It's just one minor battle in a war it likely won't win, but Mozilla's Firefox has tasted victory--and it is little and orange.

Microsoft's (nasdaq: MSFT - news - people ) forthcoming Internet Explorer 7 browser will adopt Firefox's RSS feed icon, the company announced on a blog--effectively making the orange square with white radio waves the industry standard.

RSS, which stands for both Rich Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication, is a system for generating automated feeds of Web site updates--such as blog postings or news--and sending them to an e-mail address or an RSS reader. Some 31% of Web users have used RSS to get information according to market research firm Ipsos Insight.
