Microsofts IE6, even powered with Yahoo and other tab oriented editors, just cannot run Facebook at all(bitter experience but try and see if you can find some substitutes). This is a serious problem for Microsoft because IE6 still has 28% market share on my website . Also because it shows how much Web 2.0 development is being done on CSS/JavaScript machines (especially Firefox with its savvy Firebug editor). And finally because IE7 does not work well in Vista.
Net result – I expect to see IE market share to drop below 60% by roughly November end of 2007. And with no update until mid 2008 at best to IE8 (and God knows what will be in that – Microsoft is back to ultra-secretive), the better browsers – Firefox, Opera , and Safari are sure to pick up even more users in the year. Try any one – they have better functionality and are definitely faster than IE.
