Alas, I have none. Merely rampant speculation and educated
guesswork. But, then again, I usually start with the assumption that
statistics are wrong (because usually they are) and work from there.

Actually, this isn't the case. If I remember correctly, IE began shipping
on MacOS computers with the Microsoft investment about two years ago I
guess). My iBook SE (a year and a half old or so) came with IE 4.5
preinstalled. So, maybe not every Mac user uses 5.0, but I bet that the
majority is on some version of IE.
