Have found from several sources with varied summarized stats on browsers and resolution that overall IE is dominate as a collective although as individual browsers (6 – 8) holds less market share than that of firefox.
It also shows that IE is dropping in ussage over the years – down 30% 2004 – 2010. Where on the rise are the primary competition Firefox, Chrome and Safari respectively.
Where i work our stats show that the market share of IE is around 15% per version from 6 – 8, firefox is around 30% and the rest falls into safari, chrome and so on…
If i was to pick and choose the stats id want to show someone for designing a site – they would be the ones below;
