Publisher's NoteYou may have noticed our survey recently questioning which web

garnered the lion's share of responses. Based on our
unscientific poll, 30 percent of AccountingWEB's audience uses
IE7, compared to 21 percent of the U.S. population. Fifteen
percent of AccountingWEB readers use IE6, while 33.6 percent of
the U.S. population does the same. We also had 12 percent of
our readers indicate "Internet Explorer miscellaneous," which
could mean IE7, IE6, IE5 or "not sure which IE version." Latest News
