Browsers Fighting to Keep up with the Web

An anonymous reader writes "With the continued evolution of the internet and more tools being developed or migrated online browsers are fighting to keep up. Wired has a quick look at the current status of the browser war and what different browsers are doing to try to stay ahead. From the article: 'Already, IE has seen its U.S. market share on Windows computers drop to 90 percent from 97 percent two years ago, according to tracking by WebSideStory. Firefox's share has steadily increased to 9 percent, with Opera's negligible despite its innovations. WebSideStory analyst Geoff Johnston said Firefox must continue to improve just to maintain its share. Because IE automatically ships with Windows, he said, users satisfied with IE7 may not find enough reasons to download and install Firefox when they buy a new computer.'"

Do you really, really want the community to answer that? It might be pianful.

None of the *NIX distros would be considered a monopoly because they aren't leveraging their share in one market to increase their share in another. I pretty sure that's what MS did when they forced IE upon users of their OS.

And which of the *nix distros would be considered a monopoly?

None of them.
