It's really surprising how many people missed the real story behind the latest batches of usage statistics made available over the last week. Forbes, via MSNBC, seems to have hit the nail on the head, though, with their article IE drops below 90 percent market share: Firefox keeps chipping away at Microsoft browser.
IE was at 95.5% of the market just before Firefox 1.0 shipped. Now they're under 90% and trying to stop the hemorrhaging with vaporware and promises of a better tomorrow -- and even that falls pretty flat when you take into account the hundreds of millions of pre-XP Windows users that don't even get to look forward to the vaporware.
