Looking at the stats from the last two months, for a site a maintain,
~91% are MSIE and Netscape, however that is spread out over various
versions with differing levels and bugginess in CSS, <object>, Java, 
JavaScript, or built-in PNG support. So for now even writing for the 
major browsers ('Best viewed using the tools of the oligarchy') is 
difficult.
