Netscape 6 *has* however been "out" for quite a while, and at least in
our log analysis software, Moz counts, along with NS6, as "netscape
navigator 5." Our combined numbers are a little more hopeful than cm's:
57 percent ie5.x, 17 percent ns4.x, 7 percent ie4.x, and .31 percent nav
5.x. But then the three of us who take care of the web site all use Moz
or ns6.01...
For no particular reason other than inertia, most of our internal users
are on ns4.x. Our computing people are agnostic about browsers so there
is going to have to be a strong argument to get ns6.x on our machines.
With ie's standards compliance having improved so much, it is a hard
argument to make. Appeals to religion or ideology are meaningful to
some, but not to most. Privacy or the near-constant security issues
with ie may also keep some in the netscape fold.
I *really* wish ns6 had been in better shape when it was released.
