Microsoft Factoid of the Month: A Browser Downdraft
November 16, 2016
Most people think in terms of uptake. The approach is a sign of a healthy mind. Uptake means good things.
I read “Microsoft Loses about 40 Million Internet Explorer Users in One Month.” Let’s assume that the data are spot on, which is risky these days.
The write up states:
…In October alone, Microsoft shed some 40 million users, with the likes of Chrome and Firefox scooping them up.
What’s the outlook for Microsoft’s browser market share? The write up reports:
At the end of 2015, Microsoft’s total browser share was comparable to Chrome’s now and yet as we close out 2016, it has been reduced to barely a quarter. While it is unknown whether Firefox’s share can continue its upswing it has experienced lately, it seems Microsoft’s overall share will continue to diminish.
Let’s ask Tay what’s up?
