It's heading the same way on tablet front, with Apple losing market share a bit faster than anticipated.


Zune, cough? Bing, cough? Smartphones, cough? Oh, it has captured whopping couple of % of the market and turned excellent hardware manufacturer, Nokia, into a zombie? That's quite an achievement...

Oh, you've mentioned Internet Explorer. Note that it only won vs Netscape (which cost money) And note that it payed for this "victory" about 1 billion, to avoid going to court. Because the only way, Microsoft is successfull "competing" is when abusing one of its monopolistic powers. But there we go with IE:

Not sure about comparable, but superior tablets, like Samsung Galaxy 10.1 (it's only after ipad3 is out, that people discover, that ipad2 color gamut sucked) or Asus Prime are normally 50$-ish cheaper than Apple's.
Your chart is incorrect. Firefox has always had a higher % of users then Chrome. Here is the proof. http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp

As you can see, there's not one month where Chrome has more people using it then Firefox.
