Google's Chrome and Apple's Safari web browsers have continued to steal market share from their much larger rivals Internet Explorer and Firefox over the past six months, according to internal ZDNet.com.au statistics.
Microsoft Taiwan representatives have reportedly revealed that the launch date for version 8 of Internet Explorer: 20 March.
Australia's Computer Emergency Response Team (AusCERT) has recommended organisations "consider using a web browser other than Internet Explorer until a patch becomes available" an option that many large firms cannot seriously consider.
Alternative browsers such as Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome may be aimed at toppling Microsoft's reign, but analysts say Internet Explorer's "overwhelming dominance" in the workplace will be difficult to defeat.

Microsoft's current Internet Explorer 8 marketing push continues to leave a bad lingering aftertaste.

The internet has exploded in a single, joyous, mass-hallucination called Chrome. Apparently it's the fastest browser ever and will solve a myriad of problems from slowness within Google Spreadsheet to possibly creating an acceptable carbon trading scheme.
Opera CTO Hkon Wium Lie must feel a special kinship with the "Band of Brothers" soliloquy that Shakespeare reserves for Henry V.
Any other name would be better than Ubuntu's latest. Club Builder this week examines some alternative names, looks over Google Chrome's heritage, and a new Seinfeld ad for Microsoft debuts.
