    IE is a joke, it keeps crashing…..

    I think Microsoft has given up on IE and focusing all their $$$$ on clouds.

    Have’nt used IE in years. Like Firefox because of ease of navigation.Chrome may be gaining market share…but it too is very awkward to navigate.Went back to Firefox after a two week Chrome trial.

    I guess stats don’t lie (if they’re truly accurate). But I find it hard to believe that Chrome has over 20% market share. Who are these 20%? Most everyone I know uses IE or Firefox, not one uses Chrome. Equally improbable is IE falling under 50%. Most of the corporate world use IE. Has Microsoft’s footprint really shrunk that much?

    within two years we will have…

    over 40% to Chrome

    over 40% to IE

    less than 20% to all other

    Firefox and Opera will end to develop their browser

    Safari will be only a niche browser for Apple OS

    I don’t use IE for it’s not as good as other browsers like chrome, firefox and opera. So it is easy to imagine that IE will drop under 50%.
