IE drops
worker201:
IE usage has dropped to below 60%. Chrome usage, while still under 10%, is said to be surging.

Unfortunately, it's not clear how mobile browsers are affecting these numbers. After all, all iPhones are running a version of Safari, and all Androids are running a version of Chrome. In possibly related news, the Android is now ahead of the iPhone (but both are still behind Blackberry).

IE seems to be waning more and more from one version to the next. I'd be interested to see what the adoption of IE 9 is going to be like. Microsoft really haven't done themselves any favours by not releasing IE 9 for Windows XP which will mean that many people who don't want to upgrade to Windows 7 will either be stuck with IE 8 or more than likely move to an alternative It's a shame because it sounds like IE9 is going to be good (for IE) and lumbering people with IE 8 is only going to hold back standards further.

I don't know if you clicked on the link, or scrolled down to see the other graphics, but IE8 is definitely the lion's share of the current IE usage. So it seems like a decent percentage of IE users are keeping up with the upgrades.

You're missing the point: I doubt IE 9 adoption will be as high as the previous versions because it requires Windows 7 which is not a free upgrade.

Eh, resistance is futile.
