With this development I wonder about the future of IE’s market share. With great browsers on the net like Mozilla's Firefox; the desire for users to experience the same interface no matter what OS their on; and more and more web devlopers screaming for compliance with open source standards; it could be only a matter of time before we see IE's market share drop. I'm not predicting the fall of the browser any time soon, but with the flop that was the IE 7 beta, I wonder if internet users will become a little smarter and migrate to a faster, more compliant browser; or do what they normally do and use the browser that pops up when they login.

I have been using Mozilla's Firefox since version 0.8 and every new version impresses me more and more. It gets faster, renders pages better, and offers more and more support for open source standards with every new version.

With the loss of the 4 percent or so that is Mac OS, I personally feel that the future of IE's market share looks bleak unless something changes. But only time, and the unpredictable end-user, will tell.
