A rounding error? Firefox being the only competition to IE?
Ballmer needs to buy a fucking clue. WebKit is charging forward:
kottke.org visitor trends and statistics
IE (all versions) only accounted for 2.32% of Bjango.com's overall traffic this month.
What we're seeing these days is a huge disparity between modern niche sites and larger, high traffic sites. On the niche sites, IE is being destroyed. IE won't ever struggle while Windows is strong and IE is preinstalled, but I think it's safe to assume that WebKit (Safari & Chrome) are putting a huge dint in Firefox and IE's market share in key areas.

I mean, we’re gaining share. Apple is expensive. And in tough economic environment, people get it. Their model is, by definition, expensive.

Because winning the high end of the market (where the biggest revenue is) would be so bad?
"According to NPD, in June, nine out of 10 dollars spent on computers costing $1,000 or more went to Apple. Mac revenue market share in the "premium" price segment was 91 percent, up from 88 percent in May."

If I was M$, I'd be scared, if not a little cautious. They're losing the mobile battle and it looks like they're going to slip unless they're careful in the desktop space. Win 7 will help, but maybe it's too late to keep Apple as a niche player?
