Decent article though it doesn't mention Microsoft's need to support standards better. I think with compatibility view IE9 will finally be able to tighten up it's standards support by default. Aside from that the Javascript engine and general speed of the browser is all that's left.
Wow! The year of any browser but IE. Who knew? lol
Our stats don't stack up like the author's at all. IE is still clearly the winner. FF is next with about 11 - 12% share with Chrome, Opera, and Safari barely registering a heart beat. Those stats are from all users on all sites of the 4th largest bank in the U.S.
Frankly, in the corporate world having another browser installed is a pain because it has to be updated periodically. To do that means a lot of testing to ensure that it can be done via SMS to over 250k workstations.
As to our customers, my guess is that they rarely diverge from whatever comes with the OS or is updated via Automatic Update.
