Chrome really got the Browser War action going with its fast cycle time, literally 6 weeks to new versions.
Firefox has responded to this releasing version 4 but now also has sped up their cycle, as this article makes clear:
Microsoft has released Internet Explorer 9 and is pushing it out to consumers right now, but also is already making noise about IE10.
Only Apple is sleeping in this area. Safari 5 is now 10 months old and there is not even a peep about a version 6.
What’s up with that? I’m sure their reasoning is, if you are using an Apple computer, you are using Safari, and no one is going to decide to buy or not buy one based on the browser.
And they just aren’t trying to push Safari further into the PC world for the inverse reason: No one is going to decide to switch to Apple because they loved the Safari browser experience.
You know what? I think they’re right.
