Huh? Most Mac users I know (except the diehard anti-Microsoft ones) use
IE5 because it's one of the best browsers out there. NN4 is about as
crash-prone on the Mac as on the PC, except it generally takes out the
whole machine.

Only if you base market penetration on new computer sales (like the
industry does - which is wrong). If you count installed base, Macintosh
penetration is much higher (because people generally use Macs longer than
they use PCs, although this is changing). I have no numbers but it's
closer to 10% than 5%.
