Internet Explorer has been LOSING its' market share over the past year - an 8% decrease. See Browser market share
As better browsers come out, Internet Explorer will continue to lose it's place as the most commonly used browser. IE8 hasn't been out long enough to really know how good/bad it is, hopefully it's better than its' predecessors.
As long as Microsoft ships out with IE, it's never going to go away... nor should it. Unfortunately, FireFox isn't good enough to be used by the average user. Hopefully some day it will support all of the functionality that IE supports, and more.
I still can't believe FF ships without flash. I wish the default download for FF was loaded up with all the tools an average user would need, and then a secondary version ships without all the bells and whistles. The fact that the file size is so small, doesn't mean anything to me with FF. I don't care that IE maybe require 20mb of space to run, while FF is only 5mb, I care about how ready it is out of the box. Ahhh, FireFox will learn sooner or later
