# 1, these so-called "downloads" figures from an open source group, are like "polls" from John Zogby.
They are worthless.
No independent confirmation.
Normal open source propaganda.
One for the garbage bin.

# 2, downloads don't mean much. I have lots of stuff I have downloaded on my PC, and never used more than twice.
Download out of curiosity, and then quietly retire it.

# 3, 97% of new PC's come pre-installed with Microsoft's browser. That is over 150 million Microsoft browsers on new PC's this year alone. Plus a gargantuan installed base of Microsoft browsers of up to one billion. Compared to all that, 10 million is like a speck.
We don't need no stinking downloads.

# 4, Microsoft is still overwhelmingly King of the browser market by a huge margin.
Firefox remains a rounding error.

This is just off the top of my head.
Bottom line: Microsoft rules. :)

BTW , thanks for giving me a chance to take you apart once again.
Pleasure's always mine.
