In a somewhat ironic twist, Internet criminals who make their living by exploiting the machines of others (typically for extortion--the threat of a botnet looming down on some sites is enough to make them pay protection money) don't use MSIE. The breakdown is something to the effect of: 50% use Firefox, 25% use Opera.

The link in the /. story does have an ad in it before you can get there. It's a bit humorous, especially the tag "becausetheyknow."

I mock MSIE users. MOCK THEM TO DEATH!!!

[Snobal]

Huh... that's really ironic. And interesting!

[Zancarius]

Ironic? Maybe. Surprising? No.

These guys know which browsers are less likely to succumb to their attacks; hence, they pick the ones that don't.

[Snobal]

Good point... >.<
