Microsoft's Internet Explorer grows in popularity
Microsoft has managed to reverse the trend which has seen its flagship web browsing product, Internet Explorer, lose popularity over the past year.
Since August 2009, Internet Explorer has gradually lost its lead over other browsers including Mozilla Firefox and Google's Chrome.
Microsoft's web browser market share has slumped from 66.97 per cent in August 2009 to just 60.32 per cent in June 2010.
However, Internet Explorer's market share figure for June was slightly up on the 59.75 per cent the company enjoyed in May.
According to the figures released by NetMarketShare, the gains Internet Explorer experienced last month were largest in Europe and Asia - gaining 0.88 per cent and 0.81 per cent market share respectively.
The organisation claimed that the increase could be down to Microsoft's extensive marketing campaign for Internet Explorer 8.
Microsoft recently demonstrated Internet Explorer 9, which has HTML 5 and hardware acceleration support.
