Well, Firefox has attained a 28% market share in Europe. Globally it’s somewhere between 15% and 20%.

So, where do you think Firefox will stand in 2009? 87%, right? Tell those guys over at ZDNet that Firefox will have at least 50% by ‘09. Currently the majority says so (they have a poll). What do you think?

I think that by 2010 Firefox will be the leading browser, with Safari not far behind. Why Safari? Microsoft is dieing. Slowly, but surely. Apple will have the dominant OS by 2012, there’s no doubt about it. Yeah, you all know i don’t like Microsoft (despite not having a Mac…yet).

Look here’s proof that Microsoft is going to blow up in Gates’s face:

• Vista sucks.
• XP support ends in 2009 (and XP isn’t that great).
• Vista is overly expensive (that “Home Basic” plan isn’t fooling anyone, Bill).
• Every single product is a walking security risk.
• Firefox rules.
• Mr. Jobs knows what he’s doing.
• iPod/iPhone/iLife/iMac/iEverything
• Publicity.
• Don’t tell me you’re like “Cool….This OS is awesome!” after using Windows for 5 minutes. Macs look cool (the software and the hardware).
• Apple has a fanbase. Does Microsoft?
• Zune.
• Apple’s stock keeps rising, and they’re working on some really cool stuff (whether they’re telling anyone or not). The iPhone was just the beginning.

I wrote this list up in five minutes (off the top of my head). Given time to think about it I’m sure i could come up with something even more convincing. Anyway, when Apple rules the OS market in 2012 (or earlier) remember this post.
