>most of the people use it as a tool to download Chrome and Firefox.

Not true. A lot of people still use it as in use. I was alarmingly surprised to find the number of users using IE as their main browser in my office, other than mandatory use to access company portal. And oh, my company's entire mail/issue-tracking suite works on this piece of art.

Chartbeat can speak to this a bit: http://chartbeat.com/labs/totaltotal/

You'll need a big monitor, as this was a quick hack and doesn't function very well on small screens, but you can see the number of people using IE across all of the sites our JS is loaded on in real-time.

>>doesn't function very well on small screens

Works just fine with "CTRL -"
