Re: Internet Explorer falls below 50% market share
#2Woobius traffic specs (quite representative of the enterprise space, so more realistic if you're doing an SaaS that also targets enterprise users/customers), are not too far off, but not 50% yet.
IE: 56% Chrome: 20% Firefox: 16% Safari: 5%
IE versions are broken up as: IE6: 10% (= 5.6% absolute) IE7: 25% (= 14% absolute) IE8: 65% (= 36% absolute)
In other words, dropping IE6 support is not yet plausible. But we've already opted to provide only functional support for IE6 - i.e., things need to work in IE6, and not look totally broken, but they don't have to look great.

#3IE in North America it is still at 52.3%, so close.

20% Chrome is surprising. I would've guessed Firefox's share to be much larger.

I'm not sure, but Woobius might be UK-centric, and Google have been heavily pushing Chrome in TV advertising there.

W3Schools sees IE below 50% since September 2008. However, it's not representative.
But as they say on their page: "Anyway, our data [...] clearly shows the long and medium-term trends."

The power of cross-promotion + The power of the brand.

#9I noticed IE drop below 50% last spring on http://flashcarddb.com
It dropped from 50.17% in March to 49.05% in April, continuing to steadily decrease since then.
My traffic is about 70% North American. I have many students. Macintosh is a 20% slice of my OS pie and Safari isn't too far behind Firefox in browser share.
September => IE: 48%, Firefox: 24%, Safari: 16%, Chrome: 10%
