Brauser/krieg: Explorer ueberholt Communicator-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- updating 98.9.30/2 Brauser/krieg: Explorer ueberholt Communicator Die neueste Untersuchung weist dem Communicator 41,3 Prozent Marktanteile zu, Micro/softs Explorer stieg auf 43,8 %. Hauptursache für diesen Zuwachs ist offenbar die Zwangsbe/glückung aller America Online User mit dem Internet Explorer. Dass es im Brauser/krieg weder Gut noch Böse gibt, sondern zwei Companies, die erbittert um Marktanteile kämpfen, zeigt sich auf der URL below. Nachdem ein gravierenden Sicherheitsdefizit im Communicator offengelegt worden war, gab es von Seiten Netscape erst gross/mäulige Dementis, dann wurde der Bug repariert. Blitzschnell - dies immerhin unterscheidet Netscape von Micro/soft. http://www.shout.net/~nothing/cache-cow/index.html -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- Elinor Mills San Francisco Sept. 30, 1998, 10:01 a.m. PT Microsoft's Internet Explorer has inched past Netscape Communications' browsers in U.S. market share, aided by America Online subscribers who are forced to use IE, according to a new study by International Data Corp. Netscape lost nine points of market share, dropping to 41.5 percent from 50.5 percent at the beginning of the year, while Microsoft's browser gained 4.7 percentage points for a total of 43.8 percent of the market, IDC concluded in its study. ... AOL is solid in homes and has made good progress in small businesses, whereas Netscape lost nearly 10 percent share in both those segments in the first half of the year, Brigham said. Netscape has also lost about 9 percent of its share in the medium and large business market in the last six months. IDC's Study May Be Slanted The study's slant toward home users and its timing unfairly skewed the results in Microsoft's favor, according to Chris Saito, director of client product marketing at Netscape. Of the nearly 1000 telephone survey respondents, more than 670, representing more than 60 percent of the total, were in the home market while the other markets--small business, medium and large business, government and education--had only just over 100 respondents each. "They didn't get a good reach from the other markets," Saito said. Meanwhile, Saito said Microsoft's practice of bundling its software onto PCs, over which the U.S. government has sued Microsoft claiming it is anticompetitive, has the most impact in the home market. "We believe our market share is strong in the business and education markets," at 47 percent and 67 percent, respectively, he added. ... "Netscape is clearly hedging its bets on a pure web implementation and tying Navigator 4.5 much more closely to their portal Netcenter," Brigham said. "And that's risky 'because portals are not a sure thing whereas Microsoft tying [its browser] to an operating system where they have a monopoly is pretty much a sure thing in the very least for the next five years." ... Brigham said Netscape should keep its portal strategy but also diversify its offerings, as well as work to increase its ISP partnerships. "Microsoft has a lot of ISPs locked up, [and] the PC bundles are locked up, so they're going to continue to be pretty prominent in front of all the new users coming online." full text http://www.idg.net -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- q/depesche is powered by http://www.netsphere.at handicrafters of fine mailing-lists and more -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- edited by Harkank published on: 1998-10-01 comments to office@quintessenz.at subscribe Newsletter - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
