Shiny Chrome

For one day, Chrome overtook Internet Explorer as the most commonly used browser.  They've been hovering for a while, a nagging but persistent threat to the shrinking IE crowd.

It was on a weekend, which is also telling.  When people aren't using their employer's preferences, and they are on their personal devices, Chrome is the popular choice.  And when it isn't number one, it is still very much in the top running.

Number one isn't everything.  Chrome has shown it is a viable and quality browser, and is around to stay.  I've never looked back once I tried it for the first time (thank you, Wizarth!).

Microsoft Office has a free and incredibly competitive alternative, loosening their hold on businesses who are cutting back on costs.  Internet Explorer is losing its dominance over browsers and the chance to hawk Microsoft services.  I believe we can all agree that the Windows mobile phone market is a joke.  So remind me, just what do we need them for again?
