What is interesting about those statistics is that they don't tell you 
the conclusion you are making. For example, how could 95% of people 
being using IE 5.5+ if 5% of people are using Macs. That would mean 
that everyone who uses Windows using IE 5.5+, which is certainly not 
true. Further, the Java number is also skewed as most people who are 
using modern browsers such as IE 5.5 certainly do have Java. And of 
course there is the fact that all Mac OS X users have Java installed.

It is entirely possible that the percentage of people with Java 
installed is actually higher than the number of people who have IE 5.5+.
