IE9 May Not Be Enough To Save IE

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the just-kill-6-please dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The October market share numbers are in and Net Applications' numbers show a surprising drop in IE8 market share — the first time since the browser was introduced. Strangely, IE9 has not gained much and IE7 as well as IE6 are losing as well. The only two browsers gaining are Chrome and Safari — and both browsers have hit new record market shares. The frenzy around IE8 may have subsided already, and Microsoft is under tremendous pressure to roll out IE9 soon. StatCounter's numbers indicate that Firefox is close to surpassing IE in Europe."

    And the women there are hot too. All I need is an AK47 to keep off the gopniks and a plane ticket and I'll be all set.
