That said, it's still in beta, so who knows what the (near) future holds?

Slim if any support for ActiveX (pretty much a necessity in enterprise environments) prevents most IT departments from shifting away from IE... and if your using IE at work, it's likely that you'll us IE at home. IE is large and in charge because of it's attempts to support everything... even if it doesn't' do so in the most efficient fashion. Chrome looks like it's a great java browser... but even good ole' Walt claims that its slower for more complex websites.... I'm sticking with IE/Opera/Firefox for now...

Now does this mean "out of the game" ? Well...

That's not as much as it had two or three years ago, but it doesn't mean it's out of the game yet.

I don't think they are a player anymore, however Firefox and Safari should worry. Also, I think this will probably be the browser that will be sported on the new Android powered phones.
