Not sure about Internet Explorer 8, but as of October 2007, you don't need a
genuine copy of Windows XP to move from IE6 to IE7. [1]

Pradeep -
You may have better luck with this request at a network specific group
such as nanog, arin, or ripe. A group such as Arbor Networks may also
have a large amount of information on this request. I'm not the

I agree with Chris and Derric here; at least in the "western world", a
large percentage of IE7 users have not upgraded for "Enterprise" reasons.
Many of these enterprises use proprietary software that is written for IE7,
and upgrading to the IE9 versions can be cost-prohibitive. Often by waiting

Another approach to consider for IE6/7 users is where it makes sense ship a

Dear Leslie,
Thanks for responding. I guess my earlier email request was
misunderstood.
As Wikimedia report card publishes the unique visitors per geographic
