I can’t see any clear way of presenting these numbers directly to the guys at the BBC, so I thought I’d offer them here. At 20% and 50% respectively, MSIE does not “dwarf” Firefox. In fact, since these number represent losses from MSIE’s previous 98% stranglehold, it shows that the MSIE sun is setting.
