Hi Darren, TLUG,

It seems to be useful referring StatCounter Global Stats.

http://gs.statcounter.com/

And bowser version stats in Japan is below.

http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser_version-JP-monthly-201002-201102

In Japan, IE8/Chrome is gaining market share and  IE6/IE7 is losing. It might
be going to replace from XP/Vista to Win7. Some of Firefox user would change
to Chrome. IE6 have 4.5% share on this February.

In China, IE8 gain markedly on this January instead of IE6 ( However
IE6 still have 40.55% share ). As South Korea that trend is going
continually.
