Hey Jim. The topic of stats is a heated one and here's a totally alternative view:

If we solely look at that, it seems a compelling reason to continue to support IE. But that's not what I'm focused on in this post. If this was solely an issue with a company saying that their stats support their decision, there's no argument that can be made. It's their "business" decision. That's not what Paydirt said though. Please reread their blog.

And yes, I agree with you that we need to figure out a way to help Mac developers have a better test experience for IE.
