Call it merely a regional victory if you will, but Firefox's rise to become the most used browser in Europe is a victory nonetheless. According to the free website analytics firm StatCounter, Firefox took 38.11 percent of the European browser market in December 2010, enough to inch ahead of Internet Explorer (37.52 percent). "This is the first time that IE has been dethroned from the number one spot in a major territory," commented Aodhan Cullen, CEO, StatCounter. "This appears to be happening because Google's Chrome is stealing share from Internet Explorer while Firefox is mainly maintaining its existing share." A similar trend was noted by Net Market Share, whose data showed Chrome nearly doubling its market share in 2010 while IE dropped 5 percentage points. But as far as Europe is concerned, it's pretty clear the so-called Browser Ballot is having an impact on browser usage. http://www.maximumpc.com/article/news/f ... rer_europe_________________ The beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand. - Frank Herbert Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind. - Albert Einstein Knowledge is a powerful weapon, but only when its user can wield it.

To be honest it's windows 7 starter, so maybe they've made exceptions

Not really hard to beat IE most other browsers do a pretty good job of it themselves. But i am a FF man and shall be till i die!... or there is a better browser.

They should not be preinstlled now, but ofcource the stores that sell them can put it on as default. Bill is probably giving them some discount if they do.
