Hi All,

Microsoft in March lost European browser market leadership
for the first time in years, when Mozilla's Firefox 3 took the top spot
from Internet Explorer 7, web analytics firm StatCounter said on
Tuesday.
Mozilla Foundation's Firefox 3 had
35.05 percent of the European web browser market in the week beginning
23 March, followed by IE7 with 34.54 percent.
"The move
is partly explained by a small switch from Internet Explorer 7 usage to
Internet Explorer 8, but also by growing market share overall by
Firefox 3," Aodhan Cullen, the chief executive of StatCounter, said in a
statement.
"The
data shows that Firefox is closing the gap and is now just 10 percent
behind all Internet Explorer versions in Europe," Cullen said.
In
February Internet Explorer 7 had a global market share of 41 percent,
followed by Firefox 3 with 24 percent, according to StatCounter.
