That article is junk.
They're ONLY tracking a small 20k group of people who have signed up for
their system, not the millions of relevant people.
They're also tracking servers which aren't being used by people.
They spout numbers like 80% (IE 2h a day) and 40% (IE 6h a day) saying
those are people with secret IE abuse. Then admit a few sentences later
that only half the people being tracked are using Firefox regularly.
(They're including people who aren't even using browsers other than IE
in the list of people that use standards compliant browsers but secretly
sneak back to IE).
Besides the bad stats source, if they did have a decent one it would
still be questionable. No accounting for developers that need to open up
IE and sit there hours making their software work specifically in IE
after they spent days making it work in the first place. And the family
computers with users that only use standards browsers, but have mothers
and sisters that go and click the IE icon when they want to use the
Internet.
Hmm... IE reminds me of global warming.
