Re:Whooptyshit, one percent. (Score 1)

Let me explain something that a lot of people are missing here. The percentage scale of market share is NOT linear. The innovation curve that has proved most realistic has two inflection points, one at 10% and the other at 90%. The slope of the curve from 10 - 90 is VERY steep. That means that if Mozilla gets to 10% market share, it won't be long before it is the most dominant browser in the marketplace.

This curve has proven true for many industries, including the browser industry itself. IE overtook Netscape very quickly back in the day. Other industries that proved this trend were the adaptation of cell phones and long before that, cars (as shown the curve below).

The worst thing to do when you above the 90% market is to look down on those below 10% and say that they are far away.
