on January 8th, the 100 millionth IE7 was installd. *smilies.sofrayt.com/fsc/clap.gif

"However, even more important than installations is usage. According to WebSideStory (the company we use to measure browser usage), as of this week, over 25% of all visitors to websites in the US were using IE7, making IE7 the second most used browser after IE6. We expect these numbers to continue to rise as we complete our final localized versions, scale up AU distribution, and with the consumer availability of Windows Vista on January 30, 2007."

well when u have made IE7 a recomended update and pushing it with auto update then it was expected to have that number...

i wounder still if FF were made a part of auto update then, it too can reach that number starting the counter from 0....
