Drool, Britannia? Is the UK Failing the Cloud?

By Roger Strukhoff

Richard Davies wrote: The UK has a good crop of technology pioneers in cloud computing - for example ElasticHosts, FlexiScale, Flexiant, OnApp - and also some strong government initiatives such as G-Cloud. We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

Who's Winning the Browser Wars

We all have our favourite browsers for one reason or another and if you're a geek like me you might even have 3 browsers or more installed. With all the new browsers being launched we are being bombarded with statistics about which one is faster and which one has the coolest new features. If you were to rank the browser versions in terms of worldwide popularity how would you rank them - go ahead take a minute to write down your top 3 I'll wait.

The people over at StatCounter provide global statistics on the market share of various browsers and versions (not to mention loads of other stats as well). What's nice is that you can slice and dice the information in a variety of ways by month, week, country, etc. I took a look at the browser version stats from March 1st through today (April 2nd) on a worldwide. Are you surprised by the results below?

Source: StatCounter Global Stats - Browser Version Market Share

On a worldwide basis IE 7 has a fairly significant lead over Firefox 3 and IE 6 is the third most popular browser. If we change the stats to look only at Europe IE 7's lead drops significantly compared to Firefox. It looks like next month Firefox 3 may actually surpass IE, at least in Europe.
