Dear Mr. Zachte,
I think Microsoft and their browsers may be over represented in your statistics
as Microsoft runs 'spiders' that identify themselves as whatever operating
system and browser Microsoft is promoting. I see it on my server logs and you
will probably see it on yours. Besides the unnatural browsing pattern they
originate from Microsoft owned/controlled IP addresses making them quite
identifiable.
