Internet Explorer has lost market share almost every month for the last 3 years.
Netapps (http://marketshare.hitslink.com/report.aspx?qprid=0&qptimeframe=M&qpsp=119).
Internet Explorer 68.15%
Firefox 21.34
Safari 7.93
Chrome 1.04
Opera 0.71
Netscape 0.57
Other 0.24
So you're letting us know that IE is still the most-used browser by a large margin, even after L-O-S-I-N-G market share for three years. Have you tried to picture yourself in an old-folks home at some point in the future, mumbling about how IE ruined your life?
Losing is spelled L-O-S-I-N-G.
:boohoo:
If I registered myself on this board just to post link like that, I would be called a spammer.
You should post things on assembly from time to time.
I've been a member of this board far longer than you, little boy. If you have nothing to contribute, why are you posting?

How about the Paul Newman thread here? Did you deride that guy for posting about that? How about the Google thread? Or the anti-virus thread? Those are on this board. Did you post the same thing there?
If the link showed IE share increasing, would you have posted the same thing?
You guys are such children.

No, because who gives a flying fuck?
"Little boy", "children" - so you are the "wise old man" are you? :bdg
On topic - the stats show that IE still has 68.15% and your comment says that it's been dropping every month for 3 years, so it's dropped ~30% in 36 months?
Microsoft are right in basically ignoring every other browser - it comes with windows, every computer comes with windows, what have they got to lose?
Hey hutch, can you show us some stats from this forum?

Yes! Do you not find that significant?! Are you now waking up to the relevance of it all?!!
In fact, let's go back 4 years (http://www.infoworld.com/article/04/07/12/HNielosesshare_1.html) When IE had more than 95% of the market.
So who cares? You haven't been paying attention, have you? This is a major deal!
Not really, because windows is everywhere, which means ie is everywhere. I think it'll bottom out and then 'status quo'.
Off-topic but related, I'm using the win7 beta now for my main OS - games and all - and it's not bad. I've resisted vista but win7 seems to be the OS and vista the beta :bdg

1 out of every 3 web users do not use IE.

Liked this quote:
QuoteGoogle is taking the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach with Chrome, shamelessly borrowing features from its would-be competitors. (my bolding)
Sounds like microsoft doesn't it :lol
Don't forget the other one:

Balance, doc...balance
Yes, I forgot about that one. But Microsoft has more problems as the EU wants MS to quit bundling IE with Windows (http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/2234182/eu-brings-gripe-microsoft).
I don't think it matters that much, since so many people use ie - if it's not there with windows, they'll just get it with windows update :bdg
If I was microsoft I reckon I'd agree with the EU and get rid of it.
How are you supposed to get an alternative if Windows doesn't ship with a browser? (The largest irony is that the alternative browsers can't make a statement by making their websites incompatible with IE :bdg )
Just bung it on a motherboard disc with all the other crap :bg

Yeah!invoke lstrcpy, addr MyBufferOnPC, addr MyPictureOnMobile
For the balance, and because Microsoft has been bashed so often (and rightly so!!! :cheekygreen:):
Yesterday I installed Nokia PC Suite, a program aimed at transferring bigtures from a mobile phone to my harddisk - see above for how to code that in Assembler.
Well,
1. Nokia needs over 30,000,000 bytes to perform this operation
2. It doesn't work (you have to buy a cable, not included)
3. It stays in memory as a hidden process consuming more resources than FireFox and Explorer together.

There's your problem. IIRC, when we hooked up the old man's nokia via usb, it wouldn't work, so we went to G: and there it was - it showed up as a removable drive in explorer (xp).
