So, because 6% of the users are "non-conforming", they should be completely excluded from even attempting to take part of the survey? If you do the math on the estimated number of systems in the world, 6% is not a small quantity.
As a business, would you discriminate against and bar from entering your business, 6% of your possible customer base because they don't confirm your mold of who you THINK your customer is? I just think that excluding an OS and browser, which is the customer's choice of what is used on their system, is very poor business practice. Thanks for the input.
