Let's face it, who's going to visit the Digett web site? Probably more tech-savvy web surfers, many of whom are using Firefox or MSIE 7.0. I don't think such a cutting-edge populace is indicative of the web browser landscape at large. I think a better measure would be to see the browser breakdown at Kentucky Derby or Jackson Browne. For my web sites, I see about 90% MSIE and about 7% Firefox. This is closer to what the numbers are at w3schools.com, where they track these things. Surely, the Firefox market is large enough to preclude MSIE-only development.
