Yes, the fact that it was a dip caused some people to see it as a sign
of things to come. The "dips significantly" characterization was quite
a stretch.

And the SP2 scheduled for next month will further cripple IE in the
name of enhanced security.

As long as MacOS is used by only a small portion of the users, it runs
the risk of being ignored.

Not sure of what the SP2 impact will be.
