For the record, Firefox blows IE 6 & 7 away.

What he said.

27.00%MSIE7.0

I did not expect that. I was actually wondering if anyone still used it. Thanks.

NT, I am one of the few that still uses IE6....I tried IE 7, and didn't like it...lol. And, since I still use XP, I am not forced to use IE7.

I wonder if the same amount (47%) are still on Win95/98?

I went around to ALL our work locations a while back and updated/upgraded the browsers to I.E.7.

I wasn't popular for a couple of weeks because the staff were having difficulty figuring it out, or it was just a case of 'old habit's dying hard' ...

So I sent an email out, outlining all the functionality improvements, how to use it to better work performance [the find function in drop-down lists alone was worth the effort - a big time-saver], and explained that with tabbed browsing, there was no need to have dozens of different windows open & minimized.

We can now have all the various sites we use over the course of the day open in the one 'window' ~as tabs. There was also the added ability to enhance searching the internet by adding extra/custom search providers.

It took a little time for the staff to get used to, but overall, I'd say around 90-95% of them are now happy it was done. The other 5% will just have to live with it - we're not going back.

I still have FireFox on one of my machines at home, but I can't remember that last time I fired it up.

I got every version of IE since v3 installed on Virtual PC's for webdesign testing. Other than that I never touch the binary heap of junk. (Though IE7 is a great improvement.)

Thanks everyone. Looks like there are much more people still using it than I thought. Apparently, Throbbers are still on list of things needing to be skinned.   
Fairyy~

I use FF but I have IE 6 in case...

as for that annoying throbber, I use the ' ThrobOff ' program to get rid of it.
