Firefox doesn't need to have the counts per version isolated because any install can be updated to the latest version, IE cannot. (There's probably a good chance that, even with the source, you couldn't build IE8 on XP etc.) This could look like just fettling the figures but there is a real substance to the different calculations - the end result is that both fanbases can claim victory and the argument continues . . . -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/
