I was positively surprised looking at user agent shares for a site I'm responsible for, and I thought that there might be people interested in these numbers.
The stats are from a small greek site which went online a few weeks ago, and is visited mostly from Greece. This is important because Microsoft extremely dominates in the greek end user market. The site does not have more than 110-150 visits per day (according to webalizer) and so it is in no way representative. Well, I got the following numbers for user agents 26.24% MSIE 5.5 22.23% MSIE 5.0 21.09% MSIE 6.0 10.18% MSIE 5.01 5.84% Mozilla/5.0 <---- 2.76% Mozilla/4.75 2.37% MSIE 4.01 1.75% Mozilla/4.7 1.39% Mozilla/4.76 0.99% Mozilla/4.72 0.93% Mozilla/4.78 0.80% Septera 0.40% Mozilla/4.73 0.39% Mozilla/4.61 0.38% Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html) This makes 5.84% for Mozilla that is far more I have ever seen for any other site (I'm looking regularly at more than 30 site stats, some of them with more than 1200 visits per day). First I thought that the Mozilla hits are coming all from my own visits, but I confirmed that my hits correspond to only ~0,3% of the overall hits. And now comes the interesting part that explains these numbers: the site (www.epe.org.gr in greek only) belongs to a newly created Informatics Union (Hellenic Informatics Union) where the members have graduated from Computer Science and Computer Engineering University Departments. If we would agree that these people have an in depth knowledge of the Internet scene, and more people of this group of users, compared to the "ordinary" users, chooses to use Mozilla instead of MSIE, then we have a strong indication that at least in the professional market Mozilla gets accepted.
