Despite 100 Million IE 7 Installs, Microsoft's Browser Still Loses Ground

Well, it's been three months since the launch of Microsoft's IE7 browser and some of you may have heard Microsoft's recent announcement touting 100M installs of IE7.

What Microsoft didn't say in that announcement was that all of those IE7 users were just upgrades from IE6 and that the total IE share actually fell over the last three months.

You can read more about the real impact IE7 (or lack of impact) over at this Information Week article. My favorite bit of that article comes at the end: "Maybe Microsoft's met its match with Firefox. Maybe it just can't compete against open-source and the whole world."

Microsoft has met its match -- and it's each and every one of you!
