IE 8 Is Top Browser, Google Chrome Is Rising Fast

Posted by kdawson on Monday February 1, 2010 @12:58PM from the trend-is-your-friend dept.

An anonymous reader points out that the latest Net Applications numbers show that MSIE 8 has become the world's most-used browser, taking over from IE6, which has been hit by the decline in the use of Windows XP. PCMag.com emphasizes another angle on the numbers, which is that Chrome is the fastest-growing browser. Firefox's market share has stalled just below 25%. Chrome is now in third place, ahead of Safari. The Guardian's article reminds: "There's no guarantee that NetApps' numbers are accurate, and they are very unlikely to be correct to two decimal places. However, they do appear to be a good indicator of market trends."

Fuck off, plenty of people have said this already. In every article about google.
The fact is that Google is a big place, with lots of people in it. I could take my laptop in their, and run windows if I was so inclined.
They have loads of contractors, visitors, staff, etc...
