Press Release Body = Park City, UT - Janco\'s IT Productivity Center has just
released its 1st quarter 2007 Browser Market Share White Paper. The major findings
include that Firefox maintained its number 2 browser position but has lost momentum.
Netscape version 8 continues to be a non-event. New in this white paper are
recommendations on which browsers to use and not use. A summary of Janco\'s browser
market share data can be found on the IT Productivity Center (ITPC) web site
().

The top four browser market share rankings are: 1st - Microsoft\'s IE - 70.52%; 2nd -
Firefox - 13.38%; and 3rd - Netscape 11.85%. The CEO of Janco Associates, Inc., M.
Victor Janulaitis said: "Firefox took off quickly in early 2005 but slowed with the
identification of a number of security issues. Since December 2006 it has lost
momentum in it s quest to gain market share when Microsoft\'s IE 7 was released to
the general public." He added, "Netscape\'s release of version 8 is DOA
(dead-on-arrival). The marketing of that product has been ineffective. Even though
NS has almost 12% of the browser market share, in our opinion it is not clear that
Netscape will be a player in the browser market next year at this time since most of
their users are devoted to NS 4 - an obsolete product."

Janco\'s has collected consistent data on browser activity since September 1997. The
data is collected from commercial sits with a focus on business to business
activity. Janco has over 350,000 data points for each month of the second quarter
of 2005 as it continues to expand it client base. Janco anticipates that it will
issue an update to its market share data at the end of the third quarter of this
year.

The IT Productivity Center is the information portal for business executives who
manage the Information Technology function. Mr. Janulaitis said, "The ITPC portal
provides many Information Technology management productivity tools to executives and
IT professionals. The portal has templates and reports covering Sarbanes-Oxley to
Information Technology Service Management (ITSM) and Disaster Recovery Planning."

Janco Associates, in addition to its consulting practice, maintains several other
web portals including ,
