Windows 8 or IE10 or Chrome

Microsoft released a lively blog post yesterday. While selling the successes of IE browsers this year, it mainly discussed the performance of IE9 on Windows 7. After the promotion, the statistical results show that IE9 is almost as successful as expected.

By the end of this year, IE9 is expected to account for 25.6% of the global Windows 7 platform, which will make it catch up with the Internet Explorer 8 browser, which currently occupies the largest share of the platform. In the U.S. market, this proportion will be higher, reaching more than 30%. The total market share of Chrome of all versions on Windows 7 is still less than that of IE8 or IE9. This does not mean that Chrome is not good enough, but everyone knows that Microsoft has a home advantage.

However, we should not ignore this critical fact that FireFox is not doing well in Windows 7, the world's second most popular operating system, Windows XP. We can see from the charts provided by Microsoft:

FireFox's market share has been declining since the strong performance of IE9 and Chrome. FireFox has previously marked itself as "not made by Microsoft" and seized the development opportunity. But now FireFox is barely supported only by signing a cooperation agreement with Google, and its influence in this market field has begun to weaken.

If this trend continues, Windows 8 will become the world of IE10 and Chrome. Is FireFox really about to fall? Thank you for your comments.
