I think it would be really cool if this sort of thread was kept alive in perpetuity, with everyone posting stats plus the industry on a regular basis - say monthly. The thread would become a really useful resource.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, hartlandcat :)
Actually, I am a Netscape 7 user. (I use various browsers, and while I can't say Netscape 7 is my favourite, it does seem to have the most correct css implementation). Of course, you are right; there is no such thing as Netscape 5, but you knew what I meant, right? If not, sorry for the confusion, I just copied and pasted straight from my log analysis software.

Note: Opera usage is deceiving as Opera can be set to identify itself as Internet Explorer (and many Opera users do this to avoid getting caught up in badly written code).
What % surf with JAVA off?
I've been meaning to ask the same question. :) I use <script> to exute a cgi program(adverts) and was always puzzled about the low impression(not clickthrough) compared to the actual page views or even to that of the unique users. My presumption was that at most 10% would have the JS turned off.
After writing my own log-analyzer, I was shocked to find out that more or less 60% of page views were not able to trigger the <script> tag, of course excluding bots visits.
What does this mean? Does it mean that 60% of my users have their JS turned off or is there any other explanation as to why <script> were not executed?
My users were faily demographically spread and non-tech. I tested my site with IE and Mozilla, <script> works fine.
I expect that my log would somewhat look like this...
127.0.0.1 - - [08/Jun/2003:04:05:29 -0400] "GET /normal-page1.html HTTP/1.1" 200
127.0.0.1 - - [08/Jun/2003:04:05:29 -0400] "GET /cgi-bin/prog1.cgi HTTP/1.1" 200
127.0.0.1 - - [08/Jun/2003:04:05:30 -0400] "GET /normal-page2.html HTTP/1.1" 200
127.0.0.1 - - [08/Jun/2003:04:05:30 -0400] "GET /cgi-bin/prog1.cgi HTTP/1.1" 200
For every html request a corresponding cgi request would be pulled also but it's not happening 60% of the time.
Any idea?
Hey, how about Mozilla? Am I the only one seeing an increase of Mozilla(not the compatible)? It's a given though that IE is still the preferred browser.
Gecko browsers include: Netscape, Mozilla, Firebird, K-Meleon, Beonex, AOL Mac 8.0, CompuServe 7.0, Camino, Galeon, IBM Web Browser, Warpzilla, BeZilla and possibly some more that I've missed off.
