And what if suddenly the ratios change to be 50/50? 50% of your traffic will be unable to browse your site... Instead of putting in a tiny little bit of effort to be standards compliant when developing the site you need to go through each and every one of your websites and make them standards compliant.
If you want to gamble that way then that's your stupid decision to make and the clever people in the industry will walk all over you if it happens.
There are signs that Firefox is gaining significant popularity, it'll always first start with the geeks, then it'll filter down to the advanced users... once it gets to there then the everyday user will be right behind.
