According to The Economist, Microsoft Internet Explorer now has only a 66% market share for Internew web browsers, down from 80% two years ago, and probably the lowest level ever (see chart above). For Carpe Diem readers, only about 50% are using IE (6.0, 7.0 or 8.0), 35% are using Firefox/Mozilla, and 15% are using Safari (see chart below).
Hey, weren't we supposed to be worried about 10 years ago that Microsoft was an evil monopolist, and wasn't it prosecuted for bundling Internet Explorer with its Microsoft Windows operating system, which was supposedly unfair because it restricted the market for competing web browsers?
