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...

I despise IE and use FF but IE still has a 57% market share and more than double Firefox's which is second, I don't see how it's in danger of being phased out at all.
|
The simple answer to that is 4 years ago IE had an 85% marketshare, and the loss of marketshare for IE is increasing exponentially. So following the current rate of decline, within another 4 years it should be the 3rd largest browser in the world, behind both Chrome and Firefox.
|
I remember when it had a 3% marketshare and Netscape had 90% of the market. I'm not going to count MS out just yet.

I don't think that brand really mattered in that. If anything that's an example of how new and better products can rise up to become standard over older and outdated ones.
