I would like to see those statistics. And knowing India, I want to know if they counted all the pirated Windows copies floating about.

Being a Web/Multimedia Designer, I have to say that any designer worth his/hers tupence will test a decent Website on a variety of browsers to make sure it works and displays correctly. If it doesnt work on all browsers in some form..even older ones (we are told to develop for Netscape 3 content still), It is a crap site with a crap designer. I think there is still a reasonable percentage of people that dont use the latest version of browsers still.
I disagree. I would test it on systems the MAJORITY of the people use UNLESS my goal is to penetrate a minority market too.
