Gemal's Psyched Blog - Comments on Free Fall: Internet Explorer Has Now Lost 30% Of The Browser Market http://gemal.dk/blog/2005/01/03/free_fall_internet_explorer_has_now_lost_30_of_the_browser/index.html By December 2005 or before, as I have previously anticipated, Internet Explorer will not be anymore the browser of choice for the majority of Internet users.

But to say that IE's marketshare is at only 70% is a ridiculous statement. To say that by the end of 2005, IE will have dropped to below 50% of marketshare is even more crazy. Even Microsoft, with all its corporate might didn't drown Netscape that quickly.I wish it were true, but I don't see it. Who knows, I hope I eat my words.
