Acording to this other source it's only 2%. These estimates are so different it's hard to trust on any of it. http://gs.statcounter.com/#desktop-browser_version_partially_combined-ww-monthly-201410-201510 http://gs.statcounter.com/#desktop-browser_version_partially... Browser trend will probably be more influenced by region and public. If your public is stay home dads in China you should definitvely be looking into iE8, if your public is tech workers in the Bay Area you shouldn't even care about iE11.

There's a difference in methodology that explains some of the divergence: Netmarketshare counts each user only once per day (per site?). If you assume users if Chrome/Firefox etc are more active on the web than IE8 users then it fits. Which number is more important when deciding what to support on your site is a complicated question. Probably your own user demographic has a greater impact though.

It's definitely a question of context. You have a large number of companies who either take a very long time to update to newer versions of Windows, or who developed a number of internal applications which will not work with newer IEs.
