Did I say in general? I said in tech centered areas such as this you'll have over 20% alternate usage. Interestingly enough at the gentoo forums (linux distro) they show over 55% IE usage, and I guarantee you less than 10% of those people are really using IE ... it's just part of the game. I leave Opera in IE mode to make certain that certain sites load (if it is identified as another browser the sites will display an "upgrade your browser to MS Feces 6.0" message), though I always leave the Mozillas alone. In general usage, I would not be surprised to find alternate browsers clocking in above 10% ... but once again, it is because of the browser ID spoofing that you won't see it as a webmaster.
To put it another way, the local university has all of their compsci systems running on Unix and I'm SURE they're not using IE, but all of their traffic is shown as IE traffic on my website log. Even if IE usage was slashed to a REAL 50% usage, you'd still show the vast majority of hits from "IE" browsers.
This isn't conjecture. I deal with this myself.
