Is Firefox also not relevant? Last I heard it had not reached the magical 25% mark. Apple is an innovative company that even if many people do not own them still have an effect on the rest of the market. They are much like other high end brands that the majority may never own, but who’s features eventually trickle down into other products.

I hope OSX doesn’t become relevant, because it would mean it would draw more attention from hackers and virus writers. Keep it under the radar. Even Firefox has been exploited now that it has mass appeal.

Firefix, and to a much lesser extent, Safari, are only relevant in the sense that web developers need to make sure their UI works in those browsers. IE still rules the roost and nobody is even a close second. The working group purists will moan and complain about IE's lack of standards adherence in certain areas, but it doesn't really matter. Developers know that they absolutely MUST support Microsoft products first and foremost for a general web application, or their product will be dead on arrival.

Make that “Firefox”, not “Firefix”
