Microsoft's once dominant Internet Explorer now accounts for less than half the web browser market, according to recent figures from StatCounter.


Microsoft's Internet Explorer now has a 49.87 per cent share of the global browser market, the first time it has fallen below 50 per cent.

Although Microsoft's browser remains the dominant browsing platform, rivals such as Google and Mozilla are snapping at it heels.....(more).

Me too. I've probably hoarded a set of floppies of the last version.

Netscape 9 was excellent!  I was gutted when they stopped developing it.   

[Rik]

Me too.

Didn't they just get bought out by AOL or some similar company.

[Rik]

They did.
