Has anyone seen statistics for the uptake of IE version 7? Any up to date(ish) figures for the IE UK / Euro / US market share, and what % of these are using IE version 7?

Hi Matthew,
I compiled some statistics from our data last October (http://www.clickdensity.com/viewpost.aspx?PostID=40), and I've just run a similar report on our dataset, just for you!
This data comes from thousands of websites from around the world (logging to www.clickdensity.com); I've limited it to quite recent data (from 1 May 2007), which covers nearly 10 million unique sessions in the data set.
These are the most popular browser/platform combinations, according to our data:
Windows, IE 6.0, 50.2%
Windows, IE 7.0, 37.5%
Windows, FF 2, 6.3%
Windows, FF 1.5, 2.3%
Mac, FF 2.0, 0.6%
Mac, Safari 5.0, 0.5%
Windows, FF 1.0, 0.4%
Then there's a whole bunch of other varying platform/browser combos, all at less than 0.4% share.
Interestingly, from our data, the FF share doesn't seem to have grown at all, and still seems to be hovering around the 10% mark.
We don't have an IP to country db installed, so can't split by country for you at present; if we do install one in the coming weeks (sounds like it might be useful), I'll post back here with an updated split.
Any other questions, let me know! I'd also be interested if anyone else has another source for this data, just for comparison...
Thanks,
Dan

Hi Matthew - Id say it would depend an awful lot on the demographics of your site - for example, one of the sites I look after is a web developers (remember it was the web industry who first started using Google - we know our stuff!) magazine site and the most popular browsers used by our site visitors are Firefox (1 - 4-%), IE6 (2 - 30%) , then IE7(3 - 20%). MS browsers are still over 50% but Firefox is the largest group. You might find that your audience are new to the internet - maybe with new computers and therefore might have a higher update of IE7 as they would have been installed with it.
Our film reviews site on the other hand shows Firefox as being 3rd with about 20%, 30% with IE7 and 50% IE6 (all rounded up).
Do you use an analytics tool? If you do and its any good you should be able to tell from your stats.
The above stats are from April 07.
Hope that helps!

On www.bobsguide.com which is very very business oriented with a lot of corporate users we are seeing 80% IE users and only 30% of those (24% of the total) on IE7. This is not unexpected because coporates tend to use IE and are always reluctant to upgrade anything unless they have to.
On a large charity site we have 80% IE and of those 40% IE7. I am surprised that consumers havn't upgraded in larger numbers.
