Now for a spot of technical stuff for the Internet Explorer fans:
Microsoft Corporation now commands 73% of the internet browser market, while Mozilla’s Firefox has 19% market share, this is according to research firm Net Applications.
Microsoft’s lead has fallen in recent years.
Just four years ago, Microsoft’s market share was more than 91%. In addition to Firefox, Apple Inc. is becoming more of a competitor as strong sales of Macintosh computers have boosted use of its Safari browser, which has about 6% of the market.
Use of Firefox shot up in June when a new version was released.
More than eight million people downloaded the application in the first 24 hours after it went public.
