jamesbrennanon IE9 passes 20% market share, Firefox falls below 20%, Chrome loses users

Does anyone have some insight into why IE6 has a greater marketshare than IE7?

Great article.

I get that some want the hardware upgradeability of MS PCs, but your can't do anything to Windows because its closed source. I buy Macs because I get the benefits of both a polished and (somewhat) open source operating system - not to mention its Unix. Also, in Apple hardware you actually know what you're getting - the majority of it is Intel. With other manufacturers unless you custom build your machine, its hard to know what you're actually getting inside beyond the specs on paper.

Could it just be that the hosts on http://internettrafficreport.com/ are out of date? I'm in Vancouver, BC trying it hit the UBC hub and I don't get any further than the main educational provider, bc.net. Maybe the UBC host listed on internettrafficreport.com isn't supposed to be up and its been replaced with a different host.
