I was looking at my web site statistics for December, and the "Browsers" category shows the following percentages:
MS Internet Explorer 58.6 % FireFox 24.8 % Mozilla 8.1 % Opera 2.3 % Unknown 1.6 % Netscape 1.5 % Safari 1.4 % Konqueror 0.8 % Galeon 0.2 % Others 0.1 %
According to the OS stats, 84.2% of the site's visitors were running Windows. Is anyone else seeing numbers like this?

What are you using to analyse the logs?
Mine, via Webalyzer 2.01, show almost all MSIE, no FireFox as such. I have some odd entries like:
"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gec"
Webalyzer doesn't seem to discriminate among significant vs. non-significant portions of the browser string, so I have a lot of very trivial differences, but it will give me every entry, so I can drill down to the single-hit level and see some Cell Phone browsers and other itneresting items.

Awstats. I used Webalizer for a very long time, but switched a few months ago.

...which is 62 characters. I wonder if Webalizer uses "char[64]"s for its User-Agent strings. Presumably that's short for something like
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050101 \ Firefox/1.0
which is what my browser here at home sends.
Gerald is sharing who looks at Euthenasia, or whatever his big cool project is, right? Breathalyzer?
This was also covered on a Slashdot story about how employees of computing companies use the Internet:

From the Slashdot posting:
"VisitorVille Intelligence has released information on how employees of several large companies use the web based on their monitoring of thousands of websites. Presumably using IP address blocks, they group company employees together to produce some interesting facts and figures: Microsoft employees use Google for their searches 66% of the time, but MSN Search only 20% of the time, and Firefox is their second most popular browser behind Internet Explorer 6's whopping 98.76% share. Google employees use Google as their search engine 100% of the time and 21% use a Mozilla or Firefox browser. Apple employees like Google best and 68% use Safari. 91% of Internap employees use Mozilla or Firefox, Deutsche Telekom AG employees are the biggest users of Linux, and 39% of Sun Microsystems employees use SunOS. Other groups of interest to Slashdot readers include: The White House, the United Nations, The New York Times, Red Hat, and IBM."
