Ah, fairly significant difference. Unless we can show that, across the
whole spectrum of Windows-compliant browsers, we are in the top 12, then
there will be no basis on which to challenge Microsoft. The only
statistics I have been able to glean do not break down the so-called
"minority browsers", and it is this breakdown that would be essential to
our case.

However... Seamonkey is not that well-known, agreed, but I very much
doubt that some of those listed (like K-Meleon, which is basically an
old version of Firefox with a standard Windows UI instead of a XUL one)
are more popular. Seamonkey did inherit some of the old Netscape/Mozilla
Suite base, after all, it does offer something (integrated email) that
few other browsers do, and it used to be displayed noticeably (if not
prominently) on Mozilla.org.
I think we are being victims of ourselves here: the new,
compatibility-friendly user-agent string is making our share in browser
usage stats be assigned to Firefox.
wish there were an easy way in about:config to fix this... just now
tried to install the latest Ghostery in Seamonkey... it detects my
Seamonkey as Firefox 2.11
baaaah... at least the "install anyway" worked...
