Internet Explorer 6 off to a good start
09/11/2001
New research from StatMarket shows that Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) garnered 2.4 percent of the global browser usage market within a week of its launch.
New research from StatMarket shows that Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) garnered 2.4 percent of the global browser usage market within a week of its launch.
By then, it had already exceeded Netscape 6 in popularity.
StatMarket says that Internet Explorer 6 is not likely to win over users as much as its predecessor, Internet Explorer 5 (IE5), did. Netscape now has a solid user base, and unless IE6 proves to be significantly better than IE5, many users will not bother to upgrade.
When IE5 was launched in early 1999, Internet Explorer 4 (IE4) had 55 percent of the global browser usage market, and Netscape 4 had 26 percent of the market.
A year later, IE5 had over half of the global market, while IE4 had 24 percent and Netscape 4 had 18 percent.
