A quick run through the visitor logs of 10 websites I run or manage shows that Internet Explorer 7 usage is still growing, although it’s slowed down considerably since the boom of December 2006 when Microsoft released it into the automatic update programme.
Average share for the month of February (to date) is 18.4%; the number varies from 9% to 26%. These figures are from a range of different sites, from personal blogs to full corporate websites, and are intended to be indicative, not definitive.
TheCounter.com puts the figure at 24%; Browser News provides a range between 14% and 25%.
I think 20% is probably a reasonable estimate; that’s one fifth of the market. It’s pretty big, but even with Firefox’s share of around 15% and Safari’s 5% or so (as well as the smaller market share of Opera and others) that means that less than 50% of the surfing public use a browser with even the most basic CSS3 functionality.

Do you have any lists (or references) for which CSS 3 items IE7 supports? (partially, or completely)
I was aware they had fixed some of the more major CSS bugs they had, but I wasn’t aware that they had added much, other than support for the :hover pseudo class on all elements.

There’s a list of CSS3 selectors support here:

This is interesting news. I love that point about 50% of users have basic CSS3 capabilities already. I’m curious what onestat.com will say about IE7 uptake next time they come out with browser stats.

I wouldn’t read too much into the W3Schools stats; they are taken from one site only, with a specialist audience.
