Browser wars in the Cloud: IE’s share falls to its lowest at 67%

This is an interesting development. Not because of Microsoft’s browser but the list of all those Cloud OSs [something which we continue to deny as the true OS for the SitApps or RIApps]. Look at the results and look at all those new browsers in the game. While we may battle on virtualization and all sorts of on-premise battles, the real war is being waged on the net. This time, like I said in my last BrightTALK chat, you’re in-charge!

Lets watch these trends for a while:

April, 2008                     74.83%

We will take this up and do a quick analysis after collecting data from other sources.
