66% Apple Market Share For Sales of High-End PCs

An anonymous reader lets us know about a recent analysis of retail computer sales numbers that shines a spotlight on Apple's sales growth as the PC market has flattened. In the lucrative >$1,000 PC segment, in the first quarter of 2008, Apple's retail market share was 66%. This includes a 64% market share for laptops and a market share for desktops of 70%. The article attributes the bulk of this success to Apple's stores. Fortune picked up this report and pointed out the somewhat obvious fact that the >$1,000 PC segment is Apple's by default, since Dell, HP, and Lenovo sell the bulk of their machines in the $500-$750 range, and Apple has only one model selling for less than $1,000. As the analyst said, "If you don't give people a choice [in the Apple stores], people will spend more.

Firefox Market Share Hits 19%

Mozilla Corp. released its updated browser, Firefox 3.0, last month with a push to set a new world record for most number of downloads of a new release in a 24 hour period. Now results show that Firefox posted a 0.6% market share increase in June to 19% of the overall browser market. Safari and Opera also eked out small gains in June as well. These increases come at the expense of Microsoft's Internet Explorer which fell to 73%. The bulk of Firefox's increase came following the June 17 release of Firefox 3.0. All three alternative browsers hit all time highs with IE hitting a corresponding record low. If these trends continue, Firefox is expected to break 20% market share this month.

Mozilla reaches for 20% market share with Firefox 3

Mozilla reaches for 20% market share with Firefox 3 The spread of Firefox has varied largely based upon country, with figures as high as 40% in some European countries but lower than 10% in others. However, the overall trend of Firefox gaining market share worldwide continues, and it seems now they are reaching a point where they will have 20% of the world's Internet-connected desktops using Firefox as their browser. Some may make the choice for technical reasons, some might be jumping on a bandwagon and some might be given it by a friend – no matter how or why they are using it, Mozilla is very pleased with their progress.

Firefox Appears Ready to Crack 20% Share Next Month

CWmike writes "Mozilla's Firefox browser is on pace to hit the 20% market-share mark next month. Mozilla marketing VP Vince Vizzaccaro didn't pin all of Firefox's increase on a change last month to its update dialog, he did note the new approach. "Mozilla has implemented a change in Firefox 3.0 [Release Candidate 1] where the installation now has a checkbox that defaults to making Firefox your default browser," he explained. He refused to ding Mozilla for the practice. 'The option is clearly displayed and labeled, unlike Safari, which misleadingly labeled the Safari install as an "update" [but has] since correctly changed to an 'install.' However, this practice is a break from the traditional practice browsers employed of defaulting this option to off.

Firefox v. Safari Round 3: JavaScript crown goes to Safari

You may remember a couple months ago there was some contention whether Safari or Firefox had the fastest JavaScript performance. Apple had claimed Safari 3 was the fastest when compared to Firefox 2, though improvements in Firefox 3 betas had narrowed or eliminated that gap. Zimbra, a company that makes a web-based collaboration suite, has now performed some new benchmarks that show Safari on top. Zimra's results, based on testing using its own tools, shows Safari 3.1 with a clear lead over Firefox 3.0.

Mozilla Pitches Firefox 3.1 Alpha For July Release

An anonymous reader writes "Just a week after Mozilla shipped Firefox 3.0, the open-source developer has proposed ship dates for the next version that, if approved, would produce an alpha release next month and a final no later than early 2009. According to a draft schedule discussed at a recent meeting, Mozilla wants to have the first Firefox 3.1 developer preview ready by July, then move to a beta by August. The schedule slates final code delivery in the last quarter of this year or the first quarter of 2009. A month ago, when Mozilla first started discussing Firefox 3.1 internally, Mike Schroepfer, the company's vice president of engineering, said the upgrade's target ship date was the end of 2008. If Mozilla holds to that plan, Firefox 3.

Mozilla Wants to Set World Record with Firefox 3.0

It may sound crazy, but Mozilla wants to set a world record with the upcoming release of Firefox 3.0.

While the official release date has not been announced, you can follow the link above to the pledge site for more information. Mozilla expects the release to happen in June.

Mozilla is asking everyone to play nice and not download multiple copies and is taking pains to not count incomplete or duplicate downl

Firefox Keeps Nipping at Microsoft

Back in 1999, Netscape was comatose, and Microsoft (MSFT) thought it had won permanent dominance of the market for Web browsers. Then a funny thing happened. Netscape's code lived on at the nonprofit Mozilla Foundation and was resurrected in 2004 as Mozilla's Firefox browser. Now, according to research firm Net Applications, Firefox has more than 18% of the global market. Firefox 3 is scheduled to be released this month and may well push that share above 20% by the time Microsoft releases its next version of Internet Explorer late this year. It's a remarkable achievement for an organization with 150 employees that depends on the efforts of a few hundred volunteer developers.
