欧洲浏览器投票今天开始！

Microsoft launch their “Browser Choice” update today. All European Windows XP, Vista and 7 users with Internet Explorer set as their default browser will receive an automatic update offering a choice from:

微软今天发布了他们的“浏览器选择”更新。 将Internet Explorer设置为默认浏览器的所有欧洲Windows XP，Vista和7用户将收到自动更新，该更新提供以下选项：

• Microsoft IE8 (Trident rendering engine)
  Microsoft IE8(三叉戟渲染引擎)
• Mozilla Firefox (Gecko)
  Mozilla Firefox(Gecko)
• Google Chrome (Webkit)
  谷歌浏览器(Webkit)
• Apple Safari (Webkit)
  苹果Safari(Webkit)
• Opera (Presto)
  歌剧(Presto)
• Avant (Trident)
  前卫(三叉戟)
• Flock (Gecko)
  羊群(壁虎)
• GreenBrowser (Trident)
  GreenBrowser(三叉戟)
• K-meleon (Gecko)
  K-meleon(壁虎)
• Maxthon (Trident)
  傲游(三叉戟)
• Sleipnir (switchable between Trident and Gecko)
  Sleipnir(可在Trident和Gecko之间切换)
• Slim (Trident)
  苗条(三叉戟)

If you’re concerned this will radically increase your browser testing regime — don’t worry. Half the browsers are skinned versions of IE. Gecko is available in four browsers, Webkit in two and Presto in one. You’ll be covering a high proportion of the market if you’re already testing IE6+, Firefox, Opera, and Chrome or Safari.

如果您担心，这将从根本上提高您的浏览器测试范围-不用担心。 一半的浏览器是IE的皮肤版本。 Gecko在四种浏览器中可用，Webkit两种，Presto两种。 如果您已经在测试IE6 +，Firefox，Opera和Chrome或Safari，那么您将覆盖很大的市场份额。

Note that users will also be able to install and try more than one browser. It’ll be interesting to see whether people experiment, but I suspect many will try an alternative and switch back to IE if they don’t like it.

请注意，用户还将能够安装并尝试多个浏览器。 看看人们是否进行试验会很有趣，但是我怀疑许多人会尝试其他方法，如果他们不喜欢它，则会切换回IE。

The big question: will the browser choice screen have any effect on market share? Here are the StatCounter statistics for February 2010 BC (Before Choice!):

Here are my predictions for the next month:

这是我对下个月的预测：

• IE usage will drop a few percent within Europe, but it won’t have a huge impact on worldwide figures
  在欧洲，IE的使用率将下降百分之几，但不会对全球范围的数据产生巨大影响
• there will be a noticeable shift from IE7 to IE8
  从IE7到IE8会有明显的转变
• IE6 usage will not decrease — many of those users will have updates switched off, especially on corporate networks
  IE6的使用不会减少-其中许多用户将关闭更新，尤其是在公司网络上
• Firefox will increase its share to match or slightly overtake IE
  Firefox将增加其份额以匹配或略超过IE
• Chrome will increase by a percentage point or two
  Chrome将增加一个或两个百分点
• Opera and Safari will not change significantly
  Opera和Safari不会有太大变化
• ‘Other’ browsers will increase slightly.
  “其他”浏览器将略有增加。
