Microsoft owns the largest botnet in the world
:D
Default bing search on IE6 has been resolved on June 3rd, It seems it was a bug and it is fixed now.
That was a convenient "bug."
2) Microsoft owns the largest botnet in the world; forcing a browser update and setting the home page to a Bing query is a good way to improve your ranking ;-)
3) I trust "statcounter" as much as I trust Compete, Alexa, and the other user-side traffic analysis and statistics services taken individually. Let's get data from a bunch of them and let's average them out, etc.
