IE5 48% 37% 37%

Opera .95% 1.1% .75%
Note:
Source 1 stats are from sites that use a hit counter, which excludes
many popular, professionally-made sites. Like many stats sources, it
reports many users of non-existent NN5.
Source 2 stats, from EWS has browser stats of its visitors. Note that
EWS counts hosts rather than page accesses, which are not strictly
comparable.
Source 3 stats are from (www.upsdell.com): because of its special
audience, its stats apply to a narrow segment of the population.
