Amazingly it's been about a year since I posted this thread about Firefox 2 and IE7 use. So I thought I'd post another set of results showing how things have changed.
Just to re-iterate the setup. These are the browser statistics seen on two websites over the course of about 5 days. The first sells home wares, and so has a demographic that's high in non-techies. Your Mum or even Grandma might well shop there. The second is from a clothing and "Gear" shop, mainly aimed at teens to thirties. So a much younger demographic.
Lastly, feel free to post these elsewhere, but please copy them, don't hotlink, as I'm only on a little hosting account.
First - Home wares:
Second - Teen Clothing:
The thing that interests (and disapoints) me, is how well IE6 is doing. Having got used to IE7, whilst not perfect, it's still a huge leap in standards compliance when compared to IE6. We were hoping that windows updates would pretty much steamroller IE7 out to the masses and it seems not to have happened.
Firefox 2 on the other hand outstrips Firefox 1.x by about 30x. Although Firefox overall hasn't really increased in the last year, which is a shame.
