IE for Mac has been dead for a year and a half — Microsoft stopped distributing it at the end of 2005 — and it was in a coma for several years before that. I wouldn’t count it as a significant contender in today’s market any more than I’d count Internet Explorer for HP/UX or Solaris.

The main point I was trying to make with this stat is that Opera Mini, a mobile browser, is beating a desktop browser.

Don’t you think the bigger accomplishment is that Opera (desktop)tops Firefox. Almost by double too.

FF: all windows, linux, MAC.. AFAIK

Opera: all windows, linux, MAC, and many others!

The only thing you can tell from these stats is that most people can not afford to buy a mac in Ukraine. I live in Eastern Europe (not Ukraine) and I haven’t had the chance to see a real mac computer yet.

Illiad : you are right, safari is only for mac.

GPD/capita in Ukrain is $8,397 compared to
$43,574 in norway (about the same in usa).

And mac are not the cheapest computers.

Until Safari is available **for the PC** the poll stats dont really mean any thing…

Unless you are **only** talking about MAC software, it is like comparing apples and tomatoes…

It’s encouraging to see Opera Mini, a mobile browser, more used than Safari, which has a market share of around 4%.

Opera Mini has 0.4%, Safari 0.2%. Where’s the 4%?
