I have never been a great fan of Microsoft. That probably started for me, after they got what was, to me, an inferior word processor, to defeat WordPerfect. They did that by bundling Word, Excel and a whole lot of software together for pretty much the same price as WordPerfect and so you got a lot more value as a company if you took Microsoft Office at that time. I’ve got used to working on Word now, and that is what I work on, because the rest of the world does, but I still think that it is an inferior word processor to WordPerfect. I pretty much felt the same about Internet Explorer, which also dominated the market, so I was quite surprised to read that Internet Explorer is not the dominant web browser around the world – and that Google’s Chrome browser now has 42% of market share with Internet Explorer in second place with 17%. Apparently, the next version of Windows, which will be called Windows 10, is going to include a new browser which is called Spartan. Hopefully it will be a more modern browser and one that certainly has less security issues than Internet Explorer has had over the years.

I'm a Chrome user. Explorer is always a few steps behind...

I must say I also prefer Chrome as I find it to be a lot fater and easier to use.

I've always preferred Chrome to Internet Explorer. So I guess I fall part of the 42%. I don't really know much about the differences but I am excited to see how Spartan will be...
