How many people actually browse from server editions of Windows? I remember that I skipped XP because I could not stand the Play-Doh interface, so I went from 2000 to 2003.

You would hope zero, but there are many Citrix or Terminal Services applications and virtual desktops that give remote users a limited (at least as much as IE6/IE8 allows) browsing experience.

I configured my XP machines at work to use the win 9x appearance. Of course, those machines are long dead now...
