Story: Firefox 'passes 20 percent market share' in Europe

I find it unusual that you say that these figures for firefox use in europe probably should be taken with a pinch of salt because they are weekend figures. Surely if the figures are based on weekend use it would indicate that they are mainly home users. This really is is the only market that counts as weekends (and evenings) are mainly the only times that people can choose to use any browser they like.

For some reason a great number of backward IT departments stick with Internet Explorer because they are so pro.microsoft that they permainently have their heads buried up their own ass*s. I would have thought that they would be so clued up that they would be the first to switch to a better browser like Firefox. It's a strange old world. Conclusion. Firefox is the browser of choice for windows people as Internet Explorer is mainly used by people who are too ignorant to realise that there is an alternative and Internet Explorer was already built into their Operating System.

Irony of the day... I read on a site this morning that libraries (in the UK I think) Will only allow Microsoft software on their PC's as using other software constitutes a security risk... Made me giggle !!!
