Though in corporate sector, IE still rules, among home users and small business users, Fire Fox is becoming the preferred browser. The major reason for this is the local assemblers and the computer installation and support firms which invariably install Fire Fox by default, explaining that its safe and secure, unlike Internet Explorer. To survive in Indian Market, Microsoft will have to ensure that security loopholes never arise and take local assemblers and the computer installation and support firms into confidence.
