Few? <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer> claims that in 
January 2008, market shares were 42.93% for IE7 and 32.30% for IE6.

I understand that it's hard to get reliable statistics, and I'd 
personally would *love* to see market shares for other browsers being 
higher.

But how can you say "few people have adopted IE7 instead of IE6" when 
the market share is that high? Do you have drastically different numbers?
