Are browser stats important?

[brianj]

Have you checked out w3c's browser stats? This is VERY helpful when needing to test and/or convince a client other browsers besides IE 7 need to be tested!

If you are guilty of just testing for IE 7, shame on you! :) A paltry 20.1% July 2007!! Check out the link below for full stats:

Just a speculation as to why IE7 and 6 have over 50% of the population would be that's what comes installed on most every computer. I really don't see the difference in browsers. Anyways thanks for that, showed me a few useless browsers to test in when I could be working on other things on my site instead.
