I agree with you Anthony.

I guess Mozilla are going to be doubley-worried if IE9 can turn IE around as Windows7 did Windows.

Don’t know if my reading of browser choice is right, but as I see it, it is “techy” users who switched from IE to FF in the first place and it’s mostly the same type of users now switching from FF to Chrome.

IE have lost some users to Chrome as well, no doubt.

However, in my experience most “home” users won’t change from IE no matter how ugly, slow and unsecure it may be, for the reason that it is a Microsoft product built in to Windows and therefore: why change?

There is a very strong feeling in business-IT that IE is also the only option for lots of pretty sound reasons, including but not limited to legacy software built to use the IE browser.

If, therefore, IE9 can be made better I am all for it if it will considerably simplify my life as the “go-to” guy at home and the IT guy at work!
