“The Web is still growing really, really fast. (This
visualization) demonstrates how quickly a dominant player can fall,
not from users switching, but from growth alone. This is part of
what makes Microsoft’s desktop monopoly and its lock on the PC
(manufacturing) channel so dangerous and potent a weapon. Even if
they don’t get people to switch, just owning the first experience
is worth about 100 million new users a year.”
