I don't have lots of web stats. But here is what I do have. The following is a contingency table from my over simplified visitors stats offered by blogger.com.
OS \ Browser | Firefox + Chrome | Safari or IE
-----------------------------------------------
Mac OS X | 1789 | 922
-----------------------------------------------
Windows | 688 | 591
The Odds Ratio for Windows users to use a non-IE browser over Mac OS X users to use a non-Safari browser is about 1.7 To be sure, let's calculate the 95% confidence interval.
C.I. = 1.7 plus/minus 1.96 x sqrt( 1/1789 + 1/688 + 1/922 + 1/591)
The 95% CI for Odds Ratio is approximately between 1.2 and 2.1.
Conclusion: Mac users are more likely to use Safari than Windows users to use IE.
But some of you have already known that.
