[dba-Tech] The end of an era

Microsoft may be gaining in the search engine market but people will be less
likely to be using the IE browser to do that searching with. 

Considering that, IE is built into every Windows package sold, the browser
use, for the first time has dropped below 50 percent. Its use has been
dropping at about a half a percent a month for the last 5 years and the
steady decent has not altered even with (and maybe because of) 3 new
versions in three years.

Let us hope that MS fully adopts W3C standard HTML5 and CSS3 and becomes
fully compliant with the industry standards. Then and only then, that
downhill drop will stop.
