So out of all the Windows 7-powered computers in the world, more than 20% of them are using IE9 to browse the web. Microsoft also announced that in the US, IE9’s usage share on Windows 7 is of 28%.
“IE9 was built to take advantage of the unique capabilities of Windows 7 and it’s great to see more and more Windows 7 users picking IE9 as their browser of choice to get them to their favorite sites,” commented Roger Capriotti, Director, Internet Explorer Marketing. “Growth of IE9 on Windows 7 is really just a reflection of how the web experiences we all enjoy get better when using a browser and operating system designed to put those experiences front and center.”
As mentioned above, the month of August ended with IE9 having a 20% usage share worldwide on Windows 7. Google’s Chrome 13 browser had an 18.3% usage share while Mozilla’s Firefox 6 had a 13.2% usage share. In the US, IE9 had a usage share of 27.7%, while Chrome 13 had 12.7% and Firefox 6 had 11.3%.
