Does anyone know where I can find information on what
percentages of people use which browser and version? 
I have heard anecdotally that the market usually goes
about 75% IE, 25% NS, w/ other browsers occupying a
small percentage.  But I need to find factual sources
to present to cabinet officials.

It's a weird situation here in the Natural Resources
Cabinet of Kentucky (isn't it always).  It has been
mandated by the higher ups that the Commonwealth ONLY
uses M$ software, therefore we are(supposedly)ONLY to
design for IE.  We're not even allowed to have
Netscape or Opera installed on our machines.  To check
how my pages look in other browsers, I have to wait
until I get home.  Needless to say, we're trying to
remedy this situation by convincing those same higher
ups that marketing to one browser will greatly reduce
the amount of people we can reach.  (Incidentally, I
REFUSE to use FrontPage, and therefore have my own
personal "rogue" copy of HomeSite installed on my
machine at work.  Shhh...Don't tell anyone...).

Any information would be considered very useful and
may lead to the liberation of your fellow HTML
brethren slaving away in the Kentucky Natural
Resources Cabinet.
