topgear, dude do not mind but I am feeling that you are here only to bash Microsoft...
and lets come out of M$ mentality
be sane - where did you find that I'm bashing M$ ? can't you read or you have some problem in understanding ?
How come it's bashing If
I post some graphs where IE9 sucks compared to other browsers
and some old info that Java is Sun product
Netscape introduced support for java script in it's browser first
and M$ has made IE for unix
it's just informations ( and they are all related to browser ) - if you don't like it fine but it could be useful to others.
It seems like you are only here to blindly support M$ and every other commercial products made by big software companies.
Dude come out from this mentality.
they charge because that is their business....if 80% desktops do not mind using Microsoft products (instead of free of cost alternatives) then there has to be some reason behind it..
did you find the master reason behind it ?
Where did I tell that M$ should not charge for their products - can you point out ?
Have not you seen even I use xp and office xp and I think they are both legendary softwares.
I've seen that you are only going off topic and shifting your discussion to other products made by M$ and other companies other than browser.
I'm here to talk about browsers and IE9 is just a browser by M$ which I think is not a good browser compared to other browsers and for some good logical reasons.
have not you checked out the graph images I've posted on the previous pages where IE9 completely sucks and I've mentioned it's source unlike you.
BTW IE9 seems to be their best effort in turning around the image of Internet Explorer which is used to be full of security holes and bugs (and very slow performance)...so lets appreciate what it can do...
it seems to be their crappy commercial effort to increase the sell of win7 and let's wait by the time IE 11 will be released it will no longer support win vista or may be win7 too to boost the sell of windows 8.
IE9 is better than IE8 but it does not means it's better than every browsers in the market.
If you are happy with IE9 - it's just fine - why should other ( who don't like IE ) should appreciate it ? Have we ( non IE users ) told you to appreciate and use FF, chrome or opera ?
and as per your posted image :

Do you know opera is the most widely used mobile browser and even windows mobile users use it as IE completely sucks.
a large number of people still use IE6 due to only ignorance ( which is full of security holes and bugs ) and funny thing is M$ has integrated IE6 with Xp Sp3 but at that time IE8 was available and that was more secure than IE6.
opera has introduced tabbed browsing on 2000 with it's version 4 but IE7 on 2007 sported tabbed browsing.
So which browser user and makers are the ****ing stupid the image makers should really reconsider with unbiased views
here is my personal opinion about most popular browsers :
Opera - the most usable ( and speediest ) browser out of the box with every needed features and the Turbo mode can really speed up browsing if you are on slow connection.
Firefox - The most customizable browser but can be used without even installing a single addon.
Chrome - already a popular browser with great speed , has great potentials and is getting stronger day by day.
Safari - Better than IE but not better than other three mentioned above.
IE9 - Better than any previous version IE but needs more improvement.
