I've always found that the more "technical" or "geeky" a site is, the higher %age of non-IE users you'll find. For a consumer website - IE all the way. Which goes to prove my point that real people use IE, geeks use Firefox. :-)
Yesterday's stats from a (very much consumer-orientated) site that I manage: IE (total) 87.3% made up of: IE 5.5 - 0.1% IE 6 - 40.1% IE 7 - 47.1% Safari - 0.8% Opera - 0.6% FF (all flavours) - 11.3% Not a single hit from anything else.

Just for the record, I have a UK-focused site, so I have these figures for March 2007: 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.

Not particularly helpful, but http://www.bbc.co.uk/guidelines/newmedia/technical/browser_support.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... www.mediauk.com Internet Explorer: 85% of all traffic of which: 6.0: 59.09%; 7.0: 39.9%; rest: 1.01% james.cridland.net Internet Explorer: 44% of all traffic of which: 6.0: 60.91%; 7.0: 38.42%; rest: 0.67% www.virginradio.co.uk Internet Explorer: 85% of all traffic of which: 6.0: 62.28% ; 7.0: 37.14%; rest 0.58% Particularly based on the Media UK and Virgin Radio stats, my own thoughts would therefore be to drop any support for MSIE5 and MSIE5.5.
