IE dropped below 60% — 59.79% to be precise. 59.79% sounds like a lot, but you need to remember that IE comes pre-installed on most computers sold in the world.

So, a great percentage of that 40.21% who doesn’t use explorer are people who had to actively do something (see: download another browser and install it) to give IE the boot.

It will be hard for IE to get that market share back. The trend is not looking good. Even if the other browsers magically started declining, IE has another problem: the mobile world.

We did it for the browser, and it was quite a challenge. We did it with hard work, advocacy, sweat. We did it for the browser… and we can do the same for the desktop world as a whole.

No, I don't agree that Internet Explorer is dead. However, there has been a significant progress in the adoption of alternative browsers, which is a healthy way to avoid a monopoly in browsers, which are the gate to internet for end users. The decline in the use of IE thanks to the participation of open source browsers is acknowledged here.
