Google's market share 'dips below 90%' in UK

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-20222085


	Quote: Search giant Google has dropped to its lowest percentage of the UK market share in five years, Experian Hitwise, a firm that monitors web traffic, says. October figures released by the company suggest 89.33% of all web searches in the UK were made using Google. Its main rival, Microsoft's Bing, now has 5% of the market share, with Yahoo's Ask in third place.

Bing's the default in work, which might help explain things...

Bing is the default at my work too, but mostly because we're still using IE6 and the autocomplete function on Google causes IE6 to crash.

Once the IE8 rollout is complete I doubt anyone will still be using Bing.
