Firefox's Fireside Chat

Firefox: Let's set a world record on June 17.
-
Firefox: We'll get everyone to download it from us.
-
Firefox: It'll be all over the Internet, "Firefox 3 Download Day"
-
Firefox: Here's the kicker: we'll severely underestimate the number of people who want our software, even though we have an approximate number of how many people want it.

Firefox: The servers will go down, but the demand will be HUGE.
-
Internet: Why don't you just make sure your site doesn't go down from traffic overload?
-
Firefox: Because that would be too easy.
