Firefox May Soon Overtake IE In Europe
peterkern writes "The July browser market share reports are somewhat inconsistent, but if we believe StatCounter, then it looks like Firefox will be overtaking Microsoft IE's market share next month. The two browsers are both within 1 point of 40% market share, IE above and Firefox below. Europeans are more crazy about Firefox than Americans: In Germany, Firefox has a 61% market share, while IE has only 25%. Google Chrome is, according to StatCounter, now above 10%. ConceivablyTech has more details, including market share data from both StatCounter and Net Applications (which as of this month is limiting its free data)."
Sounds like Germany's healthcare system is in as sad as shape as America's healthcare/retirement system (medicare and SS respectively).
The reason I labeled it a "monopoly" is because even though you have "choice" between doctors, you are still dealing with the same central monopoly. It's akin to if you bought a Macintosh or Amiga or Linux computer, but still had to pay money to Microsoft.
