The survey also revealed that Firefox were far more prepared to upgrade to the latest version, with 10.03% being FF 1.5 and 28.92% being FF 2.0 users in February. By comparison, IE6 users (34.36%) still easily outnumber IE7 users (22.59%), indicating a greater reluctance to upgrade. Microsoft Windows, however, is still by far the dominant desktop operating system increasing its market share slightly over the month 88.92%, which Freshbooks attributes to the giant marketing push behind the release of Vista. However, Linux did make a gain off a small base from 1.54% to 2.01%. Mac OS dropped slightly from 9.04% in January to 8.55% in February. The increasing popularity of Firefox in the small business space looks like growing from an annoyance to a serious concern as more SMBs put the open source browser on their desktops, while conversions to IE7 are slower than expected.{moscomment} |
