Mozilla is asking people to pledge to download Firefox 3 on the date of its launch. The goal: to set a new world record (one that doesn't exist yet), certified by Guinness World Records.
This is a noble endeavor for several reasons. First, it would mean a world record for open source software. And what better way to have one than for everyone to come together as a community within a 24 hour period to set it? This is a great idea and I'm excited to see what it will mean for open source.

You wouldn't see this happening for a Microsoft product. Firefox is the best browser out there, and Firefox 3 is poised to be nine times faster than Internet Explorer 7. Nine times!
