There's been some confusion as to how exactly this will affect the future development of Firefox, Thunderbird, etc., so Daniel Glazman, and Mike Connor have posted some clarifications. Mozilla has also written up a MozCo FAQ. From an end-user standpoint, nothing should really change at all.
Yesterday IBM published on its developerWorks site a comprehensive article on migrating apps from IE to Mozilla browsers (via The Inquirer. Here's the summary:

And I thought this was interesting. Microsoft is attempting to cash in on Google's perosnalized homepage idea by putting up a beta of a pretty shameless knock-off under its start.com domain.
