Recent surveys have come up with a conclusion that users are liking IE10 more than IE9. As per the data captured by Net Applications, more and more PCs are moving to IE10 from its previous browser version IE9.
According to the survey done by Net Applications in June’13, IE10 has taken over the previous version of Internet Explorer, i.e. IE9. IE10 has successfully grabbed 13.52% share of the browser market.

In May’13, IE9 was leading by 15.39%, while IE10 was much behind it with 9.26% browser market share.
How the numbers make difference for IE10
Though at the first glance the numbers seem insignificant and increase in the market share seems very small. However, the numbers are very noteworthy because IE10 runs only on Windows 7 and Windows 8; while IE9 is available for Windows Vista as well. If you consider this, you will certainly understand the difference in numbers.
