Netscape pulls in front in corporate market
Zdnet is reporting a study by Zona Research Inc that shows
Netscape's dominance of the corporate market increasing,
to lead IE by 60% to 40%. Moreover 84% of IE users in companies
must do so due to company policy. This is good news
for Netscape, which makes its revenues off server software for
companies: more browser recognition and usage decrease the
hurdles it faces to sell its server software for which its
browser is optimised. However the results are bad for other
browsers: for the first time since 1996 all the companies surveyed
use either IE or Netscape.
Thanks to Linux Today for the link.
The initial article contained the statement "
Note that corporate users have good T1 connections to the
internet, effectively making Netscape easier to choose than
it is for home users.". Some readers don't agree with that.
I think it all depends on where you live. I have never seen
a free CD with Netscape on it -- only IE. And in countries other
than the US, downloading a few Megs is prohibitively expensive
due to local telephone charges.
