It wouldn't be good - if it were true :-)

I don't think it's dropped at all, hadron.
I think that the "problem" is that you (and others here) are perhaps more 
used to seeing statistics from WebApplications than you are from 
StatCounter.

They work in quite different ways.

I prefer StatCounter myself, because they give you "raw" data.
The disadvantage though is that their "average", from which they get their 
"worldwide" figure, is just that - and it's very dependent on the number of 
contributing sites from each country.  For example, their sample size from 
the U.K. is about the same as their sample size from China and India 
combined!
Its "worldwide" figure is therefore (imo) a bit suspect.  Its figures for 
North America and its figures for Europe though can be quite illuminating.

By contrast, NetApplications "factors" (weights) figures from each country, 
depending in the estimated "Internet Population" of each country to produce 
its Worldwide figure.  If you don't want to go into things too deeply, it's 
probably the better rough-and-ready guess at worldwide figures.

I think it's important though not to mix the two!
