Microsoft's Grip Has Slipped, Market Share Steadily Declining
So it seems like more of Europe is getting fed up with Microsoft and its bundling tactics (trying to 'earn' users without even earning them, just forcing them to use Microsoft).
To Microsoft, there's a growing problem associated with image. That's why many say "Microslop" and Microsoft trying to ban the word backfires immediately.
Based on these statistics, Microsoft lost about 1% in search "market share" in the past couple of months in France. Likewise for its Web browser, which is just a Chrome knockoff anyway.
This is not just a French phenomenon because it is the same in Europe.
This is why Microsoft is having financial issues.
This is why it's trying to get rid of about 10,000 of its most "expensive" (experienced) workers. █
