There's a long way to go when even after losing 1.8% of your market share to the alternatives, you STILL control 93.7 percent of the market.
7.3% up from 5.5% while impressive, is not threatening Microsoft anytime soon....
Keep up the pressure, as 1.8% here 2.4% there will eventually add up. |

Re: It must be because of our advertising blitz here.
Is DSLREPORTS.com stating by this FireFox logo that they support Firefox, and Firefox alone? 
What about the full Mozilla 1.7?
What about other users who use Safari or Opera...or any other alternative browser?
I like IE and Firefox... but come on.
No logo in our faces please.
Your just begging to create some flame wars. |

This still doesn't explain why over ninety five percent of people who visit my website are still using either Internet Explorer five or six.
I have yet to see a eighteen percent increase in non-IE browsers page views.
65.33% MSIE 6
29.13% MSIE 5
0.08% MSIE 4
4.68% Netscape 7
0.10% Netscape 4
0.31% Netscape 3

I wonder how much more those numbers would be if the majority of the people using Windows that dont know they can use something other than IE, started using something else. |

| Marketing Hype! General Public Doesn't Use
Yes, I use Firefox and like it!
However, most Firefox users are tech savvy and the general population knows NOTHING about Firefox.
Usage jumped 18% among geeks -- who comprise about 5% of the general population. Big deal.
Microsoft has NOTHING to worry about for a long time -- until they buyout the developers or re-engineer IE.

Re: Mozilla & Firefox grab market share
Because you are one website out of billions.
Just because your website is not seeing an increase, doesn't mean more people aren't adopting a Mozilla based browser.
Just like the examples in the news article, just because they are seeing an increase on THEIR websites, doesn't mean the browser is being adopted.
All it means is their core group of users are switching.
I actually find it sort of funny.

It is strictly an endorsement - not about what you can use to navigate the site.
The code for this site, afaik, is as close to 'standard' as possible to support the widest variety of browsers.

Re: Mozilla & Firefox grab market share
I dislike antihotmail. Some of its touted advantages, I see as disadvantages, such as the no secure log on. There are others, but the site's down.
Not that I am a hotmail user. I used to be, before they were bought by Microsoft, but stopped using it at all after that. It just went downhill fast after MS bought it.

Once Billion Bill and Microsoft bought Hotmail.com the service went down the tubes big time. I wouldn't recommend Hotmail.com to anyone.
