EU-version of Windows 7 will come without browser

Skybird · 06-15-09, 10:04 AM

A study in Germany says that on the German market, Firefox is now the most used browser, with a market share of 40%. IE 7+8 reach 38% together.

If counting IE6 from 2001 also, Microsoft takes the lead again due to an additonal market share of 12% for it's oldtimer.

Taking each Explorer version for itself, Firefox has left them behind, all of them.

Safari 3.1%

Opera 2.4%

Chrome 1.3%

The study was done in in April and May and involved 120 thousand German internet users. Regharding statistical validity, that is quite much for assessing the German internet user market.

Good to see that Chrome is being ignored. The German federal police gave the strongest computer-warning in its history over this piece of code.

The consequences are clear. For the German market release of Windows 7, we need a special rule that reflects both Firefox' leading position, and Firefox' and Microsoft's shared dominance over Safari and Opera and chrome. It must be demanded that Mozilla distributes Opera and Safari, and that they and even malware security risk Chrome get pushed to 16% market share each , while Firefox and Explorer have to give up market shares.

That's for the sake of competition and improving product quality! Free choice for free consumers. And if you still chose the wrong one, we'll make you making the right choice!

They better get lost before they are attacked by angry web designers who
have to spend far too much time making sure everything is backwards
compatible.
