End stats on your list: Opera use more than doubled.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Yeah, from 1.2% to 2.1%. And that's "growing rapidly". Dude, despite all your spinning, it should be obvious to everyone reading this thread that Opera has negligible market share. That doesn't mean it's a bad browser. It just means that practically nobody is paying attention to it.

100% growth. Calculate that out for a few more years and see if that threatens Microsoft's position. And don't forget the handheld market, where MS doesn't have majority and Opera is poised to claim a large marketshare. Microsoft needs Opera to look bad.
