After 100M IE7 Downloads, Firefox Still Gaining

Posted by kdawson on from the denting-the-monopoly dept.

Kelson writes "Internet Explorer 7 hit the 100 million download mark last week. Yet in the three months it's been available, Firefox's market share has continued to grow. InformationWeek reports that nearly all of IE7's growth has been upgrades from IE6. People don't seem to be switching back to IE in significant numbers, prompting analysts to wonder: has Microsoft finally met its match?"

    IE was included in the automatic updates. It was already on most users computer as an update. This is push, not pull/download. In most cases IE was installed unvoluntarily.
