Here is some statistics based on internet usage data collected by w3counter. Looks like firefox is giving a serious challenge to internet explorer. Firefox 2.0 with 22.89% has already gone past i.e 7.0. i.e 6.0 and 7.0 together enjoy 62% market share though. The important question is when people decide to migrate from i.e 6 which browser will they choose. ie7 or firefox? what do you think?
