"Fickle" isn't a market share dropping 30% in fifteen years! Indeed, movement in browser market share is fairly glacial compared to other markets, such as office suites.

you will have firefox safari chrome and opeara users also popping up on the IE list because of its embedded nature in many applications whether the user wants it or not.

hence why its a shockingly even "split" between IE6 IE7 and IE8 ie many people never both to upgrade it because they are using something else.

Nope. People don't upgrade because newer browsers - newer than IE6 and Firefox2 - have a bluntly intimidating UI. Things KEEP getting added which complicate it, for no good reason.

No, that "slick new browser" is why people are still using IE6.
