Just for the record, I have a UK-focused site, so I have these figures for March 2007: HYPERLINK "http://www.ukfree.tv"www.ukfree.tv Internet explorer is 66% of all traffic. of which 7.0 52% (34.63% of total); 6.0 47% (31.4% of total), 5.0 (0.8% of total) (Firefox is 28.78% of total, Opera 1% of total) On the OS front, I get Windows NT/XP/Vista: 88%, Mac 4.8%, Windows 98 2.85 and XWindows 1.26% Hope this is useful too.

In particular what the browser market share is, as I am wondering how much longer to support IE5 and 5.5 for certain sites - depending on their application and target market. I thing the BBC site user agent stats would be really interesting in this area, and possibly one of the least skewed se of statistics on the net for typical user agents. Not particularly helpful, but HYPERLINK "http://www.bbc.co.uk/guidelines/newmedia/technical/browser_support.shtml#su pport_table"http://www.bbc.co.uk/guidelines/newmedia/technical/browser_suppo rt.shtml#support_table is a useful guide to what the BBC supports and what it doesn't. >From the sites I can pull stats from, these are the stats for the last seven days...
