This is correct, demographics/industry specifics should be taken into account. What I was trying to say is that we also had something similar (IE stats very low)when we developed our product/service - when you are in Beta, your team and the early adopters are typically more tech savvy and do not use IE.

However, once you launch, IE visitors become the majority - at least in my particular case (in a sector that seems similar to what the blog post says). Even if the purchasing decision makers are not using IE, in my particular case many of the licensed users will be just corporate/normal job types, and IE is the majority there.

Just my $0.02, your case may be different.
