Daniel, Just as other stats, this tells you something about your visitors. Depending on the amount of users/visitors using a specific type of OS and browser, the webmaster has to change the content to suit the majority. If 80% of your visitors still use IE5 on Windows98 machines, you can't offer high bandwith multimedia pages, packed with the latest techniques and gadgets. The browser/OS tells you that your visitors don't care for the latest techniques/equipment.
In the event of a personal website without regular visitors that might be a bit over the top, but in my case as Technical Webmaster of the dutch Mazda MX-5/Miata Club with a lot of regular visitors this information is very important for the path to follow in the future...
