IE8 users downgrade to IE7

[Rastalovich]

I've only skimmed over this, but a market share from 2.something to 1.something %. I thought the market share would have been alot higher than that ? Perhaps it's the IE7 that has the big fist of the microsoft share. I would guess calling it just IE would show the largest for them, although with 8 only adding 1 or 2 & - that's crazy.

hasn't MS just admitted there is/was a major exploit in 8?and they have rushed a patch out

I think it was something to do with Pwn2Own. Not too sure though.

I know that Pwn2Own showed a Mac getting hacked in less than 10 sec.

Most people either:

* Haven't got auto-update on

or

* Haven't switched their PC's on

which is why the share's only ~2%

And then of course there's business, which most still use IE6....

Tell me about it. We're officially on something like 6.0.209.something. They tried a flat rollout of 7 and recalled it.
