I ran a pass through our reporting software the other day and here’s the breakdown of browser usage @ CNET. It’s not in a fancy chart because I don’t have time for that kind of thing, but I’m sure you’ll manage:

OS:
92.3 % Windows
6.8% Mac
0.4% Linux

Browser:
Firefox: 23%
MSIE: 71%
Safari: 4%

MSIE:
55.9% ver. 6
43.5% ver.7

Summary:

Firefox has made some strides but continues to be an underdog. Safari is only barely big enough to even worry about supporting it (though of course we do). IE7 has made a lot of headway since it’s launch, but IE6 is still the winner (sigh) with near 40% of the total market. No other browsers cracked the 1% mark.

It’s scary that .6% of our IE users are still using version 5 (dear god why?!?) and .1% of them are using IE 4. These people, presumably, were stranded on an island after their plane crashed. There they found a fall-out shelter with a computer that requires you to click a button every 108 minutes. This button reads “object expected in line 12.”
