Firefox Snags Market Share From MSN by Shankar Gupta, Monday, Mar 21, 2005 7:00 AM EST
THE FIREFOX BROWSER CONTINUED TO cut
into Internet Explorer's market share, according to statistics released
Friday by NetApplications, an Aliso Viejo, Calif.-based company that
offers Web-monitoring products. By the end of February, the open source
Firefox browser accounted for 6.17 percent of browsers--up from 5.59
percent in January, according to NetApplications. During the same
period, Microsoft's browser fell from 90.31 percent to 89.04 percent.
Some say that the downward trend for Microsoft's Explorer could be
significant for the company--which just entered the search space last
month--because browsers can play a key role in search. "The browser has
become central in terms of driving revenue opportunities," said Michael
Gartenberg, an analyst with Jupiter Research.
Sales. I wonder when we decided to become a sales person. I know when I
was at school all I ever wanted to do was join the Navy and see the
world. My best mate wanted to be a truck driver or Fireman, Policeman,
Soldier, Banker, Doctor, Pop star, Football player and so the list went
on.
