Taming the Wild Blue Ether

Recently published Market Share statistics show the browser down almost 7% from the beginning of last year, continuing to slide down as time goes on. On the other hand, open source browsers such as Firefox and Google Chrome are constantly increasing.

This isn’t exactly news, and IE still has nearly 70% of the market, but it’s a positive sign.  Serious competition between Microsoft, Mozilla, Google, and others will not only force Microsoft to fix IE’s problems, but serve to promote innovation, rather than stagnation, in the whole browser marketplace.
