008年下半年﹐微軟(Microsoft Corp.)的互聯網瀏覽器用戶流失﹐表明由微軟長期佔據支配地位的瀏覽器市場競爭加劇。

根據調研公司網絡應用公司（Net Applications）的數據﹐微軟的Internet Explorer瀏覽器2008年12月份的市場佔有率為68%﹐低於5月份的74%。記者暫時無法聯繫到微軟的代表就此置評。

微軟瀏覽器市場佔有率下滑﹐對於瀏覽器技術來說意義重大。長期以來﹐微軟在瀏覽器技術方面佔據支配地位。總部位於華盛頓州雷德蒙德的微軟於20世紀90年代致力於瀏覽器技術﹐將其作為抵御網景(Netscape Communications Corp.)競爭並最終打敗該公司的一種手段。

但Internet Explorer最近遭遇三方面的沖擊。首先﹐蘋果公司(Apple Inc.)的Mac電腦用戶越來越多﹐Mac電腦採用的是蘋果公司開發的Safari瀏覽器。此外﹐Mozilla Foundation推出的開源瀏覽器火狐(Firefox)和谷歌(Google Inc.)去年發佈的Chrome瀏覽器越來越受歡迎﹐也對Internet Explorer提出挑戰﹔網絡應用公司的數據顯示﹐火狐去年12月份的市場佔有率為21%﹐高於5月份的18%﹔Safari的市場佔有率則由5月份的6%上升至8%﹔去年9月份發佈的Chrome的市場佔有率由0.7%升至1%以上。

網絡應用公司警告說﹐假日期間網絡訪問量增加﹐可能是火狐、Safari、Chrome等非微軟瀏覽器使用量上升的原因。Internet Explorer通常是辦公首選網絡瀏覽器。

瀏覽器技術具有重要的戰略意義﹐谷歌和微軟等公司可藉此鞏固自身的互聯網服務及應用業務。
