If you scroll down the page below the monthly statistics, they mention this fact quite clearly. On the other hand, sites like StatCounter and Net Applications, which use stats from much broader sources show IE still in the lead by a large margin (though dropping slowly). StatCounter's stats are from visitors to sites that use their statistics service, and Net Apps takes stats from search engines like Google, that even my grandfather visits. You're right about Chrome still having a long way to go to beat Firefox, and while I'm an avid Mozilla fan (and generally dislike Microsoft), I feel we have to be honest: IE is still the dominant browser, though not as much as it once was.
