Dutch Survey Shows IE Web Share Below 90%

happycorp writes "We've seen a few too many Firefox articles by now, but it is gaining a real presence in the market: Onestat reports that IE's share is down to 88.9% marketshare, with the combined Mozilla browsers above 7%. While we saw this trend much earlier in particular communities such as w3schools this is the first time IE has dropped below 90% in a general survey. Also interesting, the w3schools page shows a steady parallel increase in both Linux and Mac OS global marketshare over the last 18 months."

    These stats are so warped they are pretty much meaningless.

    Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics.

    It's kind of depressing to see, how people have been trapped by all this ballyhoo around Firefox. This thingy has lived no more than 10 minutes on my harddisk.

    Perhaps I'll give Version 2.1 another try.

    You know, I always thought the people here complaining about the formatting issue were smoking crack until I finally got around to installing Firefox on my Windows box. (I have been using it on my Mandrake Linux box for a while, I usually don't browse the web on my windows box). Really it's not that big a deal. There's a wee bit of overlapping but everything is still accessable and readable. Really you guys need to quit yer whining.
