It will be interesting, but I do wonder how given the XP restriction much it will "help" MS. It's depressing how many people on our site are still pre-XP and would therefore not be able to get it. Will they be compelled to get XP/Vista with IE7 as the killer-app? Doesn't sound right to me...

The success of Firefox is largely due to the extensions. No other browser comes close to this. I should know, I've started a business around it, and it's beginning to do well. Could'nt have done it based on anything else.

It is interesting that IE actually gained about 2% marketshare in US and Canada in 2006 while it lost marketshare worldwide. And yet IE's global marketshare is higher than its marketshare in the US. Is the US and Canada a leading indicator for marketshare?I would expect IE to start to rebound a little with IE7 and Vista, but am suprised to see them gaining at this point.

OMG it drop .65% The survey probally has an error of at least 1% Making that .65% worthless. Now if it droped 6.5% i would be interested. But please this is ridiculous. How the hell did this make the front page of digg.

Heh I switched from IE to Firefox 2 weeks ago because my girlfriend has been raving about it for so long. Glad I switched, tab browsing FTW!

It says at the bottom that its a sample of 2 million users divided into 20,000s from different countries. So the fact that IE's percentage has dropped 0.65% in this sample proves nothing. Unless everyone user in the world is sampled you'll never get an accurate figure. I would like to see the error margin of this data, I'd hazard a guess its higher than IE's drop.
