Literally fantastic
Just spreading the word about something Neil has already commented on.
A News.com article about Firefox driving Internet Explorer's market share below 90% (in the overall market - in tech sectors Firefox is doing even better) quotes Gary Schare, Microsoft’s director of product management for Windows:
"I still believe in the end that most users will decide that
IE is the best choice when they take into account all the factors that led them to choose
IE in the first place."
But they
didn't choose
IE - it came pre-installed with the operating system. Many people don't even realise an alternative exists, and believe 'IE' is a synonym for 'the internet'. In what sense can that be described as informed choice or preference?
