That shows IE6 to be the most popular of all browsers (barely). I
suppose I'll have to find another PNG fix.

I am getting /very/ close to removing any support for
"less-than-IE-7-browsers" from anything I do on the Web. It is becoming
largely irrelevant. And the more authours do that? The more users will
upgrade to IE7 or IR8 and above.

Arguably, the best stat would be the one for the sites you personally
create/maintain, if you can get that information.

Oh, sounds like work! I stopped reading stats years ago. I've got 60
some sites in my FTP client and that's not all.

At any rate, I'm not letting a site break in IE6, I just don't care
as much if a margin or padding or something is off. I use this to fix
most IE6 irregularities:

<script src="http://ie7-js.googlecode.com/svn/version/2.0(beta3)/IE8.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>

I'll let someone else evangelise, I just don't want a complaining
client! I waited years for NS4 to die!

What does this fix? I like the sound of a magic bullet.
