It would have been nice for them to give some data, if the battery life is 3 mins longer then it's kinda practically worthless. Besides I never thought of battery life as the arbiter of what makes a good browser.
This seems like a microsoft PR piece where they want to focus on the only thing that seems like a redeeming quailty.
Silicon Valley is full of so called "independent' groups that take money for favorable "studies" Aberdeen group anyone?
IE fails in the most important test in my book, it's too damn frustratingly slow to start and to load pages. And on top of it it's a microsoft product which means there's a ton of unnecessary code in it so that it plugs into other MS products somehow which cause it to crash like most MS products.
Safari is just as crap on a PC.
I hope chrome shakes up this market a bit, we haven't had any substantial progress in browsers since 2000. All the current browsers use a more evolved version of the original Netscape browser interface design. I guess once MS kills off the competition it can sit on it's laurels and just release pointless upgrades. But what I despise mostly about MS is the fact that they are so bad, they make Apple (which is only good by comparison) look good.
