1 download, but 100 installs
In my company, I download FireFox one time and install it on all 100+ systems.

That should make up for some of the people who download many times and have only one system.

Still, the numbers that count are the ones the web sites track. What browser is being used to hit the site? And that number says IE is in free fall.

Hallelujah!
