I count them here and M$IE is a minority.  Firefox at 38%, Safari at 34%
and M$IE at 12%.  Mac users and WEENDOZE users are in a near dead heat.
Also, for the streaming listeners, iTunes bests WinAmp usage 54% to 22%.
If I were to count the AppleTV listeners, Apple would be farther ahead 
but I'm being fair and only counting the 'puter user listeners.
