Because if I have 3 services and have... lets put a number 10% market share and then I unify all three and say about this new one: we are almost at %10 market share... it is a lie! yo are only regaining / recounting what you already have... speed is relative there, there is no strength in that, they are not gaining.

DNN also confirmed the bidder as Nelson Brady, the VP of Engineering. He was bidding under the username “halvarez”.

Yeah, the problem is that in businesses a lot of computers are still using it. I know places where more than 50% of the machines are still using IE6. Microsoft is pushing a campaign to promote migration for all these scenarios. It it time to forget about IE6!
