IE9 Leading Modern Browser on Windows 7 Worldwide

Browser market share numbers are always interesting because they can be interpreted in a variety of ways. We’ve said for some time now that the thing we care about most is that the web experiences we all enjoy are getting better every day through a modern browser like Internet Explorer 9. The growth of IE9 on Windows 7 has been exciting to watch since our launch in March.

Last month, we mentioned that IE9 was on a path to be the number one modern browser on Windows 7 worldwide.  According to Net Applications, IE9 usage share on Windows 7 worldwide is now higher than all versions of Chrome and all versions of Firefox – second only to IE8.  That’s great news for consumers and developers alike who can benefit from the richer web experiences and standards support in IE9!
