"falling from 8.7% to 8.1 % in July..." = "demise" ??
I don't think Mr. Bill is losing a whole lot of sleep over it yet, but a fractional drop like that hardly qualifies as a "demise". I just love reporters...
also, it was posted by MS fanboy bush2000
First, this is one sample. There is no mention to the methodology of measurement. It can fluctuate greatly - there were several market share studies done during the first browser wars and they never agreed on actual numbers - they often weren't even close.
I'msure in a few days this story will be revealed as the usual FUD.
Thank you!
But I'm surprised that it took ten whole posts before someone exposed that idiocy -- or should I say, "overt bias"? Trying to create a self-fulfilling prophecy, hmmmm?
That article must have been written by the MS Marketing Dept... Typical liberal BS: tell a blatant lie, and most of the MSSheeple will buy it -- because who checks facts, nowadays? Not those who've guzzled the MS Koolaid...
That's something like 7% of its share though. If you are a software operation looking for market penetration, a loss of 7% of your market share is a big hit, especially if you were gaining share regularly prior to the loss.
