Judgment made on January 8, 2009: Safari reached a 7.93% market share in December 2008, according to Net Apps. The Apple web browser did not reach 9%, which community correctly predicted. -- The Industry Standard

Original prediction: Apple is now automatically installing Safari when users update iTunes (via a checked opt-out button during installation). 

Will this allow Safari to accellerate its growth curve and penetrate more of the browser market?  Sitting at 5.7% as of February 2008, will Safari be able to leverage the popularity of iTunes to 9% or greater market share by the end of 2008?

This proposition will pay out at S$100 if Safari's marketshare for December, 2008 is 9% or higher, according to Net Applications.
