Oooh, the liddle uns wanna fight over the 1% market share they have. They
would sure shut up if a percentage of use were shown along with each choice.
Yeah, like users are going to throng to the least-used product.

If you go by the web browser statistics regarding usage at:

http://marketshare.hitslink.com/browser-market-share.aspx?qprid=2

and group all versions of a web browser together along with any "skinning"
that relies on an underlying major product (like Maxthon or AvanstBrowser
that require IE), you get:

Internet Explorer: 61.47%
Firefox: 24.16%
Chrome: 5.59%
Safari: 4.38%
Opera: 2.93%

Total: 98.53%

So the other 6 products are bitching that they don't get exposure for their
grand total of 1.47% marketshare. Yeah, in an auditorium, like we really
care if a gnat happens to fart.

Actually I disagree with you on this one. Many of our markets are now
'controlled' by large corporations because their presence is so
overwhelming it's nigh impossible for the little man to get noticed, and
therefore compete.

Do we want the Internet to become like our high streets. They all look the
same. Or do we want to encourage the little shops back?

And, of course, we must force the high streets to look like the shabby
cobbler avenues, huh? Since when was your company forced to advertise its
competitor's wares?

Since when did I destroy my competitors by giving away my products for
free.
