[Update: I originally said that I didn’t know how to explain the near mirror-image view of IE vs. Mozilla. Stuart points out that my inability to explain this is related to my being “an idiot.” Fair enough.] It’s clear that if you treat everything else as noise then IE and Mozilla divide the universe in half. They must be mirror images as one can’t go up if the other doesn’t go down. Yeah, I should have thought of that.

I’m still disappointed by the general trends.

For what it’s worth, I generated my graph with gnuplot and a little Perl.
