Regarding the "and earlier browsers," I often wonder whenever I see them listed how many of hem are real? How many are spoofed user agents? How many are people planing games and normally browse with Firefox, et al? And how many really are the best the person has available, for whatever the ration may be? I suppose if you can examine which OS they're using, you may get a big clue. For example, am I suppose to accept as ligitamate Netscape 2 running on an XP machine?Get hold of their web logs or from a similar site, you should find the combined IE4/NS4 and earlier browsers account for less than 0.5% of all vistors (it is with our sites) and seeing a sizeable chunk ( a least a third) of those are using NS3, IE3 or NS4.04 (bad javascript) or earlier.
