IE9 download rate up to 27 times per second
Microsoft's Internet Explorer 9 was downloaded over 2.35 million times ever since it was released on Monday evening. A blog post on the Exploring IE Blog gave the rates as over 27 downloads every second or over 240 downloads every 9 seconds.The version IE9 Beta had scored only 1 million downloads on the first day of its release. The new version includes HTML5, an improved UI and the most advanced tracking protection feature.
This new version of the Internet Explorer only runs on Windows7 and Vista that is seen as a blockade for it to grow market share.

However, IE9 numbers are not that impressive for Microsoft. Firefox 3.5 had nearly 1 million downloads within few hours of its release in 2009. Firefox 3.0 was downloaded 8 million times in the first 24 hours of its release.
As Firefox is set to release its final version of f Firefox 4 on March 22, touch competition awaits for IE9 ahead.
