Firefox 3 to set download record on June 17?

Correction on June 13: The spelling of Johnathan Nightingale has been fixed.
On Wednesday, Mozilla announced next Tuesday, June 17, as "Download Day" for Firefox 3. The company also released Firefox 3 release candidate 3 as a final step toward full release.
With Firefox 3, Mozilla is attempting to set a Guinness Book of World Records for the largest number of software downloads within a 24-hour period. There is currently no Guinness Book record for that accomplishment.
Firefox 3 includes a new rendering engine, so pages load faster. It also uses fewer system resources, addressing a complaint in earlier versions.
On this week's Security Bites podcast, I spoke with Johnathan Nightingale, Mozilla's "human shield," about the security features within Firefox 3, including its antimalware protection and support for Extended Verification SSL.
The current Firefox 3 release candidate, version 3, can be downloaded for Windows, Portable, Mac, and Linux systems.

Should Adobe submit their server logs to Guinness Book of World Records for the record and resubmit it any time there is a spike? Would Microsoft be able to beat that 25 million number with any of their new applications rolled out with their automatic updates?
Either way, it's doubtful that Mozilla will break any records, they will just be the first to submit a record to Guinness Book of World Records.
Haha! I found this weird and funny.
Guess it wasn't hard to do.
Whoever the first person to download FF3 was, set a Guinness Book Record.
