Visiting numerous sites that keep track of browsers.

There are many with differing methods of keeping track of visitors. Even
if all of these different sites, and all of the different stats
applications they were running, were underestimating Mozilla/NN6 use by
a factor of 10, that still means use is below 5%.
That makes me curious because use of NN4 remains at around 12 - 15%.
>From a purely marketing standpoint it's interesting to see that more
than 90% of Netscape users apparently do not wish to use Netscape 6 or
it's Mozilla cousin. I am one of those 4.x users that will not use 6.0
yet, but I am curious why so many people are choosing to do likewise.
Further, I would think that when a company released a software version
that less than 10% of their users chose to upgrade to, that maybe some
warning bells should go off. I was just curious if any had gone off, and
what was being done to investigate that. I suspect nothing.
