Your trigger fingers and shootin' eyes are worthless when they have chunks of glass sticking out of them. Being Oklahomans, we're known to eat a green bean casserole or two, so I'm sure 90% of us will be baking something this year using a Pyrex dish.
Yep, they went from borosilicate glass to soda-lime glass. Borosilicate holds up to temps better than soda-lime, but soda-lime, in general, is less likely to crack or chip from drops, banging against counter tops, etc. Since most broken glassware is a result of dropping it, etc, they went with soda-lime. Most American glassware now is soda-lime, while most European glassware is still borosilicate.
