10 million downloads in a little over a month thats (..thinks..) ... a lot per hour.

Microsoft have been so lazy in adding features and improvements to the (once promising) IE that it has become an absolute dog of a browser.

Firefox has gained so much popularity so quickly - I think the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
