Browser Wars:Chrome Overthrows IE8 as the Most Popular browser For The First Time

Google's Chrome team has managed to overthrow Microsoft's IE 8 as the worlds most Popular for the first time leading IE by almost half a point which is dramatic considering the fact that IE 8's steady decline attained a new low.IE 8 which took the crown from Firefox 3.5 since 27th January 2010,appears to be staring down the barrel.From occupying almost 31.35 % in April 2010 to drop to an all time low of 22.92,IE has started sending panic waves spelling troubles for Microsoft.
                                                                         One may argue the big fuss being created over the browser wars and its impact on the Market Sharing.It's the Search Engines which Control the revenue for browser and if Microsoft's IE looses its battle to Google Chrome,then more & more people will prefer to use the Google Chrome's default browser Google search instead of IE's Bing which would result in revenue looses to Microsoft as more & more people will move towards Google Chrome.Currently IE 9 holds 22.1 % market Share compared to Chrome's 18.6 & Firefox having 15.6,the browser wars are getting more & more complicated,Micosoft's strategy might be to focus on WIndows 7 as it features  IE 9 and use it to its advantage when it comes to Cloud computing.With IE 9's popularity in rendering HTML 5 & a near 4% lead over Google's Chrome,Microsoft's light has begun to fade with Google circling it like a hunter ready to pounce on its prey.
