Posted by Philipp Esselbach on: 10/01/2010 07:25 AM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]
The Windows Team Blog posted a news story that Internet Explorer 9 Beta has been downloaded over 6 million times
Internet Explorer 9 Beta made its debut earlier this month and was met with warm reception by our customers and partners. As we have talked about previously, one of the ways we measure success for IE is through customers choosing our latest product offerings. This month that means we get to expand our usage share conversation to include IE9 Beta.
Net Applications’ browser usage share report released today shows IE9 Beta usage share at 0.25% for the two weeks after launch. The tech enthusiast community is observing a notable increase in IE9 activity: LiveSide reported IE9 Beta users accounted for 25% of their reader base, IE9 overtook IE6 users at DownloadSquad, and Network World reported poll results showing 47% of people intend to try IE9 Beta. Additionally, we saw tweets from the likes of Ed Bott who noticed, “Halfway through Day 1 of IE9 availability, 8% of my ZDNet visitors are using the beta. Steady increase all day, higher than IE7.”
