June's Modern Warfare (for Browsers)

Internet Explorer 9 was intentionally designed for Windows 7 for better performance and integration into the Windows 7 experience, while not providing support for Windows XP.  This strategy was implemented by Microsoft in order to focus resources on modern versions of Windows and compete more effectively within a narrower focus.

We have been tracking this strategy since it was implemented, because what is happening with browsers on Windows 7+ is a more accurate predictor of the future of browser share.  So, is it working?  IE 9 is now at 15.61% on Windows 7 globally, and 19.56% in the United States for the month of June, in both cases, second only to IE 8.  On the last day of June, IE 9 was at 17.0% on Windows 7 globally and 21.8% in the United States
