Lol I have 4...
Jokes apart.. I hope this scenario will change when IE 9 will release officially as it has shown promise in independent tests..

Thanks for the update sujay. I was rather surprised at the results. Apparently, there are more computer users nowadays, who are exploring the different options, when it comes to web browsers and not just using blindly IE, because it comes installed with Windows.

Browsers war are getting fierce theses days.... Success of Chrome is pinching MS.. look in 1 year.. how Google have regularly updated the Chrome browser and IE is Regularly Irregular for doing this..
But, its a fact that IE is still no 1 and will be till Windows will come with it or MS will find any alternative or FF/Chrome Will improve a lot to fight IE..
