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.

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?

Oh, the irony of it all.

[drhowarddrfine]

sinsi, if you have nothing to contribute, don't post.

OK

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 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:

Google 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
