Real numbers can't be accounted for
Yes, but like tha article said, Mozilla mirrors are not being included along with the one million just from the Mo site itself. That could mean millions more. So the number could very well be much higher. IMO, it is all a matter of exposure. I GUARANTEE you that if I sat people down in front of two machines and gave them a taste test, Mozilla would win hands down. First I'd have them test drive mozilla long enough until they get used to navigating with mouse gestures. Then they will go to IE and try to do a rt-clk hold/shift left movement and then drearily realize that they went nowhere, only seeing IE's pathetic context menu instead. That would be all that's needed..anyone that uses Mo Firefox and then has to be pestered with using IE knows what I am talking about..remembering that there are no gestures in IE brings one back (once again) to how painfully archaic that sorry "browser" is..
