[users@httpd] Internet Explorer 6
Does anyone have any statistics as to how many people still use Internet Explorer 6? We are trying to decide whether we can stop supporting it.
Thanks for any information

My website's audience is largely teens. We see 45% Internet Explorer of
which just 4% are IE 6, so a mere 2% of our total users use IE6.

Your user base will probably best determine what browser is most commonly used and in what percent's (poll your logs if possible) but here's some general numbers I found:
Microsoft Internet Explorer
Roughly 62% use IE-based browsers, with the percentage dropping slowly as users switch to alternate browsers. About 26% use IE8, 14% IE7, and 21% IE6, with the IE6 and IE7 percentages dropping as users upgrade to IE8 or switch to alternate browsers: IE7 users are more willing to update than IE6 users. Some still use IE5, with the number shrinking slowly as users upgrade or switch, and with the numbers likely to shrink more quickly in mid-2010 when support for IE5 ends. Browsers older than IE5 may generally be considered extinct.

It's best to start logging user-agents on your own systems and collect
your specific stats.

Is Firefox compatible with a machine running Win2k? I'm not sure how
practical that really is, if you're trying to get anything productive
done online. Firefox is quite heavy on its own and you'd have to tweak
your add-ons quite a bit to limit resource usage.
Maybe we just have to realize that the PDLC of internet applications is
quite a bit smaller than 10 years.

The remaining problem is that W2k is still widely used, and so IE6 is the only
browsers available to those users. Perhaps it is time to convince those councils
that can't afford to replace hardware that Firefox IS a more popular browser and
more secure :)

W3C Schools publishes a data sheet. I assume it's based on good collection.

Stats here put IE usage at 66% with IE6 as 10% of that.
