• Keizer: Microsoft’s browsers are dying

    Er, dieing. Sorry.

    Gregg Keizer has a good look at the rapid decline of the IE (+ Edge) hegemony.

    Even though IE showed an uptick in usage last month, per Net Applications, the prognosis for Microsoft browsers is dismal:

    By the time Microsoft retires Windows 7, and for effective purposes, IE as well, Windows 10 should have reached a user share (of all Windows) of around 63.6%, assuming its climb continues on the past year’s trend line. If Edge hasn’t, well, edged up as a share of all Windows 10 by that time – and all evidence is that it will not – then Microsoft’s active browser share will be in the single digits, perhaps as low as 6%.

    Hard to imagine IE + Edge at 6%, but then again Windows Phone took a hard, fast fall, too.
