Any bets we'll still be using HTML5 in 2018?

 Again, interesting, stuff, Dave.

 Concerning your remark:


  If I was Microsoft I'd be quite worried that the IT support pros,
  influencers and developers have such a different make-up than the

 I believe they are indeed concerned about this. AIUI they're a little
 fed
 up with the constant remarks on fora like this where we're broadly able
 to
 talk about the standards browsers and mean every browser except IE
 for
 which, everyone knows you need to put in workarounds. IE9 is going to
 take
 a big step towards changing that with support for SVG, XHTML and more.

 As for when IT departments get around to changing over to it, who can
 say?

 For what it's worth, some of our non-techie sites (with much smaller
 user numbers, as they're focused on the relatively tiny New Zealand
 market) are showing a slightly rosier picture over the past month:

 Advocacy website for cyclists (4544 visits):
 IE: 41.57% (IE6-15.09% 7-37.96% 8-46.96%)
 FF: 40.29%
 CHROME:  9.09%
 SAFARI:  7.68%
 OPERA:   0.62%

 IE6 = 6.27%

 Sports clothing (28,337 visits):
 IE: 49.92% (IE6-13.8% 7-27.06% 8-59.11%)
 FF: 24.87%
 CHROME:  6.20%
 SAFARI: 17.82%
 OPERA:   0.77%

 IE6 = 6.88%

 Brewers website (3,300 visits):
 IE: 45.97% (IE6-10.42% 7-30.72% 8-58.87%)
 FF: 30.06%
 CHROME: 11.27%
 SAFARI: 10.03%
 OPERA:   1.03%

 IE6 = 4.79%

 Tourism operator (4,041 visits):
 IE: 54.84% (IE6-11.60% 7-28.07% 8-60.24%)
 FF: 26.73%
 CHROME:  4.80%
 SAFARI: 12.77%
 OPERA:   0.42%

 IE6 = 6.36%

 For contrast, here're the stats for a tech company.

 IT services and software dev company (3,050 visits):
 IE: 15.02% (IE6-8.52% 7-19.87% 8-71.62%)
 FF: 56.20%
 CHROME: 18.52%
 SAFARI:  5.48%

 I just took a peek at our own stats for May 2010.

 A very large set limited to UK online shoppers only.

 And I couldn't agree less with the article.

 I have a couple of large .au 'mum and dad' sites (ie, not techie) and
 I
 have similar results to your .uk figures:

 Internet Explorer67.11%   Firefox17.19%   Safari
9.70%   Chrome4.67%
 with specific IE figures of
 IE8.059.08%   IE7.028.46%   IE6.012.44%
 ie IE 6 is at 8.3% overall - lower than your numbers, but still worth
 testing for.

 Interestingly, I have iphone/ipod numbers at 2.77% and rising fast - I
 guess I better get those mobile versions up!

Re: [WSG] IE6 Finally Nearing Extinction [STATS]

2010-06-13 Thread James Ducker
Here are some stats I collected from a collection of large, high-traffic
Australian sports/news websites I am involved with:

IE8: 45%
IE7: 30%
IE6: 10%
Firefox 3.x: 9%
Everything else: 6%

This is off the top of my head, but IE6 definitely accounts for 10-11% (and
is higher than FF3). These stats are likely to be skewed toward people who
browse the Internet from work, hence the low Firefox usage.
