Microsoft: 'Humbling' that IE 8 top browser

We launched just less than a year ago, so it's both humbling and thrilling to see so many people choose our product so quickly--making it the most popular browser of choice worldwide," Microsoft communications manager Brandon LeBlanc wrote.

Here's some more corporate bullshit coming from Microsoft. Using words like "choose" as a description of IE 8 installations is a big stretch seeing as how their browser is bundled in OS updates. And what does it mean for them to be so "thrilled" to be the number one browser? Everyone is quite aware that their position is not due to having a quality product, but rather momentum from their more monopolistic days. Not to mention that IE's overall use is steadily declining each month.
