This means Firefox has on average been download around 20 million times a month, a hefty sum, and while it is gaining ground on Microsoft’s dominating Internet Explorer, it still has a long way to go. As of Q4, 2007, W3 Counter puts Firefox’s share of the market at a hefty 28.4 compared to IE’s 61.8 percent. This shows just how much the open source underdog has chipped away from Microsoft’s formidable lead, and with the release of version 3 imminent, IT may continue to face defections for a while yet.Mozilla is hoping to achieve the same success with its Thunderbird email client, which it has just spun off into another subsidiary company called Mozilla Messaging.</blockquote>
