“Not everyone’s in awe of the number, though. A senior executive of Microsoft, the current browser market leader, has made statements today that essentially question the validity of the one billion downloads milestone. Oh, and she talked about how IE6 cannot die as well.”

Original story here.

I won’t question the number of  downloads.  However, for myself, I downloaded Firefox more than a douzaine times.  Not to trick the numbers, but rather because I’m  running multitple virtual machines and many computers.  I end up downloading Firefox quite often.

The number of downloads does not equate the number of users.
