Won't happen in Australia? The latest Internet Explorer virus sniffs for the username and password for your online banking account and sends them to Russian organised crime nasties. The virus targets the Commonweath, ANZ, Westpac, National, St George and other Australian banks.
The United States Department of Homeland Defence actually gets something right and reccomends people stop using Internet Explorer and instead use more secure browsers, such as Mozilla.
Google (and others) show Mozilla and other Gecko based browsers used as much as, if not more than Internet Explorer 5 and 5.5 these days.

As much as it would be a lovely state of affairs, I don't see anything on those pages indicating that gecko-based browsers are used as much as IE.

"The Netscape 5/Mozilla line is effectively level with IE5.5 and not too far off 5.0."
And all three lines are effectively level with zero, and sloping downward. It's hard to tell from that ridiculously small and unlabelled graph, but come on Stat Prac 1 Boy---are you really calling anything other than MSIE 6.0 a contender?
(I'm a Firefox fanboy. I just don't think the graph you refer to shows anything other than that MSIE is a big winner, and everything else is a loser.)

Slight correction: I'll grant you the Netscape/Mozilla line is sloping up. There's only a few pixels in it, and I had to squint real hard to distinguish it from the x-axis.

"You may find it interesting to check the pages..."
What, in terms of how they render in MSIE vs Firefox?

It could almost be funny if they hadn't spammed all ~400 posts in my blog. Fuckers. >:|

Aww, Mike---I hadn't finished clicking all the links yet. Now where am I going to buy my V1AGAR4 from?

Just give it a bit, I'm sure they'll be back.

I was going to post a link to Tim Bray's weblog where he's boning up about this week getting more hits from Mozilla than IE. But your software stripped my hyperlink. Sigh.

1. Paste a link.
2. ...
3. Profit!
Anyway, it is Six Apart's (http://www.sixapart.com/) software, not mine. I just licence it. Or something.

Stop teasing us by posting hyperlinks. And anyway, if my hyperlink got stripped, how did Spam Boy post that junk a few days ago? I smell a conspiracy against me. And how did Matt Ness post a hyperlink up there in Matt Ness's post?
