Explorer popularity is much smaller than many browser stats would lead us to believe, according to this research (http://www.bazon.net/mishoo/articles.epl?art_id=958). The essence of the story is if a web page contains multiple copies of the same image, Explorer make multiple calls to the server instead of checking the browser cache first, as all the other (better behaved) browsers do. 

So could all of our assumptions about the dominance of Explorer be based on unreliable browser stats? Or is this just one more Microsoft conspiracy theory?

Anyone got any evidence one way or the other?

Happy Xmas
