Browser Wars (not much fighting)
Having created the new Saints site, I have access to the visitor statistics.
I was surprised to see that over the first 9 days (27,682 visits, 10.6GB) 92.2% were using Internet Explorer, and I was more surprised to see that ~57% of those were still using IE6.
So more than half of all visitors are using IE6, the now very outdated browser, despite IE7 being a critical update.
Do these people not have Automatic Updates on? Or are they all using pirated versions of XP?
Sadly (imho), only 5.7% were using Firefox, and just 2% were using non-Windows Operating Systems.
My SketchUp site, the SCC, has a very different browser profile: 50.12% use IE (63% v6, 36% v7) and 43% use Firefox.
