IE Market Share Drops to Lowest Level in Years

Cultural Mosaic writes "Browser market share figures for September were released yesterday, and the numbers showed a big dip for Internet Explorer, as it dropped to just 82.10%, its lowest market share figure in years. Ars Technica notes that 'it's no surprise that Internet Explorer has been losing ground steadily over the past couple of years. There have been no significant innovations in the browser since XP SP2 was released over two years ago, and most of those were security tweaks.' Firefox grew from 10.77% in June to 12.46% while Safari jumped to its highest figure ever, 3.53%. I wonder how the release of Firefox 2.0 and IE 7 later this month will change the game?"

But this article from yesterday contradicts that

Firefox Losing Marketshare, Internet Explorer Gaining.

There the Dutch company said that Safari only accounts for 1.6% of the market, compared to what this article says.

I'm looking forward to Firefox 3.0. I hear it washes your dishes and matches your socks.
