IE 8 Is Top Browser, Google Chrome Is Rising Fast
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."
I forget the name, but it appears not to be on the list.
Don't take life so seriously. No one makes it out alive.
Incredible to think that only I thought of it. I guess everyone just raged in their blind MS hatred. And I find it hard to believe that testers were surfing with IE6 on external websites given by the Chinese fakers on Facebook. Either way, Google deserves equal blame as MS, if not more.
If I remember the articles what you said is correct. There were accounts that were hacked through phishing and bugs in IE6. Actual attacks on google did not succeed and had nothing to do with IE6.
Seriously, people are so blinded by MS hatred here that they fail to even see the possibility that Google can be at fault.

It was on fucking CNN for Chrissake.
No because a browser is not an OS (even though that seems to be changing) and it should not be running programs. It should leave that job to the OS.
