Internet Explorer Use Keeps Falling

From eWeek:

Internet Explorer is continuing to lose share to the open-source Firefox Web browser.
In the past month, use of Microsoft Corp.’s dominant browser fell another 1.5 percentage points to 90.3 percent. Meanwhile, the Mozilla Foundation’s Firefox browser rose 0.9 percentage points to reach 5 percent, Web analytics provider WebSideStory Inc. confirmed Thursday.
The numbers reflect shifts that occurred between Dec. 3 and Jan. 14. WebSideStory samples more than 30 million daily Internet users from more than 200 countries to determine the browser-usage shares.
The percentage of users browsing with IE has steadily fallen since June, while Firefox and some other competing browser have shown gains. Over that time, IE use has dropped a total of about 5 percent from its perch at 95.5 percent.

Ok, so 90% of the marketplace is still incredible. But at some point Microsoft will need to do something. I wonder how low they are comfortable going before they actually improve IE…
