Internet Explorer falls below 50 percent global marketshare, Chrome usage triples

So, looks like IE has finally, finally fallen below 50%. Good lord that took a long time. And what is on rise? Well look-e-here, its MSFTs big rival, the "dont be evil" GOOG. And why is this?

But on my netbook, with its limited screen and power, Chrome is fantastic and all I use. With netbooks growing until recently (when the iPad came out), I think they are the growth behind Chrome.

Really though, its amazing that IE held on to a majority share this long, and is still the largest by market share. Why people, why??

I think it could be fun and informative while greatly reducing the number of accidents (especially fatal ones) on the roads every year. Right now, the driving exam is basically a joke, it means that you know what the pedals...
