Basic software & Cutting edge Extensions: An inseparable Pair

Photobucket

Today’s computer software world is full of customization. We see customized flavors of large amount of soft wares around us. Extensions and add-ons are now used worldwide for easy customization of many proprietary as well as open source free soft wares.

These extensions or add-ons enhance the working and capabilities of these soft wares. In many cases most poplar extensions become the integral parts of the next version of the same soft ware. In this way these extensions also play important role in the evolution cycle of the same soft wares. That’s why many software makers encourage the third party developers for the making of such extortions for their basic software. Besides a great pool of free developers, these software makers also gather a great variety of users for their products. In many cases this is done by conducting polls, gathering information via message boards and enabling reviews of these add-ons by common user. A useful Extension can make even flat basic software an instant success. That’s why add-ons now play a role of Software king maker.

We see the successful integration of add-ons in Fire Fox web browser. Fire Fox and its extensions are now considered inseparable pair. Many people use Fire Fox only for its vast reservoir of extremely useful extensions and themes which make their work easier and more productive. Regular and Instant updates are also other plus point for the popularity of Fire Fox Web Brower world wide.

Proprietary software makers are doing the same. Very popular example of such proprietary software is Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer (IE) team officially launched extensions and add-on site on the worldwide publishing of its long awaited 7th version.

This positive move of the Microsoft Company is quit impressive for loyal users of Internet Explorer. IE is now making waves of its own without the monopolistic behaviors of the Microsoft. Monopolistic behaviors were the trade mark of Microsoft for a long time as many privacy & free software movement advocates think. IE was the only player in the market so for before the Fire Fox. After Fire Fox success, IE changes its attitude and shape a little bit slowly and constantly. Now IE is also changing its repetition from only market leader to more competitive Web Browser.

It’s again due to the advent of extensions and add-ons. Extinctions are now changing the software market, software development cycles and their productivity. Common users are now gaining much control on the software due to these small but very useful not less than wizard like extensions.
