This is an interesting article about browsers that appears in PCWorld.com. Apparently the giant Internet Explorer is losing a little bit of ground in the world of browsers.

Now when I say a little bit of ground it would be more accurate to say miniscule. According to the article Internet Explorer went from a 95% share (which it held for several years) to 92.9% on October 29th. Like I said it was a teeny tiny drop in numbers, nothing to get the all knowing all seeing Microsoft to be too concerned.

According the article the drop in Explorer and the rise in other browsers (Mozilla Suite, Netscape, and Firefox) may be due to high-profile security vulnerabilities in the Microsoft browser and expert recommendations to switch browsers (read: Is it Time to Ditch IE?) .

Microsoft has issued a service pack to update some Explorer vulnerabilities. But some people are waiting around to to see if there are major probelms with it because of the problems encountered with XP's service pack.
