Holly ****! I can't believe my eyes. This month, Firefox has surpassed IE in numbers of visits to Sampa.com.
Just 2 years ago there was "no" competition for IE, it dominated the market with 90+% market share and then... Firefox happened.
I'm sure this is not what the people in MSN (Windows Live, whatever) are seeing because they have a more "low-end crowd". People that come to Sampa are a notch above on technology expertise.
Here is the data for Sampa.com for the month of November and in parenthesis the month of October:
Firefox: 47.79% (38.98%)
IE: 45.66% (54.93%)
Safari: 2.98% (3.22%)
Opera: 2.33% (1.81%)
Mozilla: 0.48% (0.41%)
Netscape: 0.27% (0.18%)
Camino: 0.14% (0.26%)
Konqueror: 0.14% (0.09%)
I wonder if what happened to IE could happen to Windows as well? Linux is not going to be it because it requires too many paradigms shift for users and developers. But if somebody could create a descent OS (even if built on top of Linux) and a decent compat Win32 layer.... Boy, MS would be in deep trouble.
