deepening statcounter concern

Yesterday I blogged that I was concerned about some unexplained spikes in the StatCounter brower share reporting. A few commenter suggested I'd just gotten some intra-day unrepresentative measure and that it would return to normal within a few hours.

Well, it's not getting any better. IE 6, according to StatCounter, has grown well over seven points in just two days. This just doesn't make any sense.

What explains IE 6 making the biggest jump of any browser in the last year or two? Nothing, that's what.

There's something really wrong here and I sure hope that StatCounter sorts it out quickly. It's just not possible that IE 6 is growing -- and growing several times faster than any other browser version out there.
