According to Microsoft’s announcement on Friday, they have hit the 100th million milestone for Internet Explorer 7. That number, of course, probably consists on the sum of people who actually downloaded it from Microsoft’s website, together with the people that had it installed via auto-update.
Personally, I find Firefox’s 285 million number much more impressive, since all of those downloads were made with the intention of installing an alternative to Microsoft’s browser. Still, webdesigners should become a little happier that some standards were implemented in IE7, although they weren’t as many as they expected, now it should be a little easier to design websites.
Wow! There’s actually 285 million people that actually know better.
Ok, 100 million people downloaded IE7, but how many of them are actually using it ?
I think that I will download it only to get rid of the annoying warning message “updates available”, but I will continue to use Firefox.
