Your user base will probably best determine what browser is most commonly used and in what percent's (poll your logs if possible) but here's some general numbers I found:
Microsoft Internet Explorer Roughly 62% use IE-based browsers, with the percentage dropping slowly as users switch to alternate browsers. About 26% use IE8, 14% IE7, and 21% IE6, with the IE6 and IE7 percentages dropping as users upgrade to IE8 or switch to alternate browsers: IE7 users are more willing to update than IE6 users. Some still use IE5, with the number shrinking slowly as users upgrade or switch, and with the numbers likely to shrink more quickly in mid-2010 when support for IE5 ends. Browsers older than IE5 may generally be considered extinct.

We are trying to decide whether we can stop supporting it. Thanks for any information Malka Cymbalista Webmaster, Weizmann Institute of Science malki.cymbali...@weizmann.ac.il 08-934-3036
