Internet Explorer

Microsoft would forward the date of launch of the new star version of your browser to force users to change the version of operating system since Windows XP will not support Internet Explorer 9 .

Apparently the lack of compatibility of the operating system business would be a movement for the high percentage of users who currently use Windowx XP, teams end up migrating to Windows 7.

But everything could go wrong and this strategy could also provide an important opportunity to rivals like Firefox or Chrome, as users may choose to change their browser, instead of spending money for a new operating system.

It is important not to ignore that some studies published by NetMarketShare deploying Windows-based computers worldwide is 91.46%, compared to 5.32% from its main competitor is Apple.

However, in what is the bulky figure, Windows XP leads with 63.41% market share, compared with 15.60% of Windows Vista and Windows 7 11.68%.

The highlight of the novelties of the new version of Explorer and support for HTML 5 comes at a time at which the market share of its use has fallen below 60%.
