In europe according to Statcountrer. They say its due to Chrome taking Marketshare from IE while FF maintained its postion making it number one. LINK

Its because IE doesn't come with copy of Windows 7 in Europe that these browsers are even close to IE. General public doesn't need to switch browsers from IE as it does basic browsing fine.

You're wrong. You'd be hard pressed to find a college campus, school, or office that still uses IE in the US. There's an older generation of internet-ignorant people who still use it, but overall, it's being phased out entirely among professionals and youth. The future of IE is bleak at best. Frankly it's already pretty much done. Just too insecure, and it's no longer the standard for education or major businesses.
PS: I use both Chrome and a Windows-specific mod of Firefox called "Pale Moon."

Sorry but how does that make him wrong about why it has changed in Europe... he is right. The anti-competitve rule which made MS unbunbdle IE is of course the reason why it has changed so much recently....
Ironically it is what has made Google get such a hold. Google gaining advantage from an anti monopoly action... hilarious.

Clearly I was addressing his second statement, that the general public doesn't need to switch from IE, because it does basic browsing just fine, when clearly the general public is switching from IE. Also surely you, as a Microsoft fan, aren't begrudging another company their monopoly...
|
A "microsoft fan"... who? me? I have an iPhone 4.0 I will have you know!! I'm a 360 fan yes but I am not a fanboy of corporations.
The monopoly google are gaining is far more dangerous imo and they have already started acting in some fairly shitty ways.
watch and see how it unfolds in the next few years.

Google is playing nicely with many industries. So its will be hard to even consider taking down Google for this reason and my reason above. Even their youtube part is playing nice with the MPAA, causing user nightmares, over damn movie previous which really just shows the MPAA is getting way to far outdated in their marketing sense (more exposure a movie preview gets, the more people will watch the movie!)
