I get a lot of referrals from MSN search though, most if not all of those are IE users. I see a shit ton of bots too. The Yahoo! bot has hit me over 3500 times in the last 3 weeks.

Next comes Mozilla and Opera at 1.1% and 0.9% respectively. So I guess for my site at least, more than half of my visitors are already using Firefox... which is a good thing :) For HTNet, 51% of visitors use Firefox, 33% uses IE, 12% are unknown (most probably spiders).

I’ve heavily modified the version I run. I modded it to recognize referrals from technorati and a bunch of other blog related services. It’s really neat!

Most of my local friends still use Microsoft products piously. I myself, use Suse 9.3, a great Linux for any place, and a mixture of Konqueror and Mozilla Firefox for web browsing. I am very proud to part of the 3.4% of visitors who use Linux. ;) Concerning coding websites; I have my own little rant here. I stick to the international standards. W3C has theme all listed and I do pretty much everything within my knowledge and power to try and keep anything straight to the standards. Problem is, coding *both* for Microsoft's Internet Explorer and also for the international standards is a coder's nightmare. You get things lookin' nicely, validate it using W3C services, and then check it with something like Firefox, Konqueror, Epiphany, Mozilla, Opera - the list goes on, and then... ...you open it in IE. Mayhem 80% of the time plus! It is absolutely disgusting. I've given up. Those people who use IE in the first place don't deserve to be accommodated for. Oh, and btw, can you give me an inkling on how you get those statistics... :P Have a good one, Pascal Most people either are not aware or simply do not care.
