Internet Explorer Use Keeps Falling

[Tyler]

In the past month, use of Microsoft Corp.'s dominant browser fell another 1.5 percentage points to 90.3 percent. Meanwhile, the Mozilla Foundation's Firefox browser rose 0.9 percentage points to reach 5 percent, Web analytics provider WebSideStory Inc. confirmed Thursday.

I don't think mozilla would be for sale

[Jason425]

netscape owns mozilla

[StinkyMojo]

which will be owned by microsoft lol.. haha, I wouldn't be surprised if those greedy fat bastards go ahead and buy them out :P

[Jason425]

I dunno... AOL owns netscape.. that's a lot of G's...

[StinkyMojo]

nothing good ole Bill can't handle im sure :P

I don't think Microsoft cares much about IE usage, cause they don't make much (any?) money off IE directly

[Tyler]

It's still 90.3 percent... I'm sure they aren't too worried at the moment.

[Uranium-235]

microsoft only worries about money. even if it drops way down, I dont think they would care. IE is still bundled with windows, and that's what microsoft cares mostly about

now suddenly if linux went way up and windows went way down, then microsoft would be worried

AOL is owned by Time Warner (Mozilla --> Netscape --> AOL --> Time Warner). Microsoft only has 86 billion in assets while Time Warner has 122 billion. MS doesn't have a chance at Mozilla unless TW wants to give it to them.

[StinkyMojo]

unless TW wants to give it to them.

hey.. there are a lot of companies who donate :P
