Some competing firms are questioning a report from two weeks ago that indicated Microsoft was losing its iron grip on the browser market. OneStat had indicated its log analyses showed Microsoft Internet Explorer marketshare to have fallen below 90 percent for the first time in years. ClickZ reports that WebSideStory is downplaying those figures, saying that OneStat's figures are too Eurocentric and that IE is falling at a slower rate, still above 90 percent. Different sites frequently show different browser shares, as different constituencies have correspondingly different tendencies. For instance MarketingVOX's logs - rife with odd media buyers - show about 20 percent of users employing either Firefox (about 18 percent) or Apple's Safari (about two percent), which clearly isn't representative.
