Over 9 Million Downloads for Firefox 4
According to the tote board Firefox has over 9.5 million downloads for the day! and it’s still climbing at a rapid pace. It’s more than doubled in the past few hours.
4.7 million downloads for Firefox 4
IE9 had 2.35 million downloads in it’s first day which is impressive. However, Firefox 4 is now out there and it has doubled the amount of downloads to over 4.7 million in a 24 hour period. I just checked the GetFireFox website and they claim 6,429,944 downloads so far. I of course will have to add my own to that list since I’m downloading the new version right now. I’ve heard both good and bad about this new release so we’ll see how it stacks up to version 3.0. People seem to like IE9, but it seems more people like Firefox. 🙂 A couple things to note if you plan to upgrade: DisplayFusion will need an upgrade to a beta version to fix issues with Firefox 4. WindowBlinds will need to be updated to 7.2 in order to fix compatibility issues as well. The Norton Toolbars are not compatible with Firefox and new versions are currently not available. Roboform will […]

2.35 million IE9 downloads
Looks like Microsoft has struck a nerve and served up 2.35 million downloads of IE9 in the first 24 hours. A staggering number. And you have to keep in mind those were all Windows 7 users since IE9 isn’t compatible with Windows XP or Windows Vista. I guess a lot of people still love IE.
Death to the Zune
It seems the Zune is dead. Reports are coming in that MS has killed off the project, or at least killed it off as a standalone device. It looks like most of the technology will be rolled into the Windows 7 Phone (that doesn’t at all sound like an iPhone thing to do). There was a time when I considered getting a Zune, but after talking with several people the small memory size and lack of content apps made me change my mind. It seemed like a good idea but didn’t have a big enough hook for me. I thought the Zune HD was a bit of a scam to be honest. Using the HD moniker and justifying it by saying you had HD radio seemed a bit sketchy to me. Maybe others agreed. I still think there is just too much competition in this market and MS isn’t offering enough bang for the buck. Android is making inroads but […]
