IE Not Faring Well In the EU Ballot
unixcrab writes "Most PC users hit the web using Internet Explorer by default, simply because that's what came along with Windows. Now, after antitrust investigations, European users get a choice of browser to install via ballot screen, and initial reports are not good for 'ol IE. According to Statcounter, IE use in France has dropped 2.5 percent since last month's implementation of the ballot, 1.3 percent in Italy, and 1 percent in Britain. It's still early days, and it'll take more than this to chip away from IE's 62 percent lead in the browser war, but it's certainly not a good trend for Microsoft. With that in mind, we're going to have to ask you to place your bets now."

I really wanted to change my sig to something witty, but all I could come up with is this.

Being that he is from South Africa and not Nigeria, where the word "nigger" stems from, I assume he'd be insulted.
Why are white Americans not called "European-American" and are the native Americans not called "American"? And how many generations have to be born in America before somebody is no longer allowed the "African-American" label?
Slashdot social media options: AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, Jabber and Mobile Text. Why no MySpace?
If only Microsoft was as careful before it pushed out new versions of Windows...
