I received a mail in the morning from StatCounter announcing their new GlobalStats site, having Internet stats or demographics of all countries of the world, including Mauritius. Perhaps, this might be the only publicly available Internet stats for Mauritius.
Given that StatCounter is used over thousands of blogs & websites, it can be considered to be pretty accurate. Internet World Stats reported 340,000 Internet users in Mauritius in Mar 2008.
Operating Systems
I'm quite disappointed that there are more Mac users than Linux users which is at a dismaying 0.98%.
0.98% of 340k... is only 3332 users!
Browsers
Also note that when Chrome was released, it was only the tech-savvy Firefox users that tried it.
Browser Versions
The high number of "Others" (4.94%) consists mainly of Chrome & social browsers like Flock.
IE7 has had a fairly consistent marketshare & so has IE8 (which can't be attributed to recent enthusiasm with Windows 7).
Search Engines
Mobile OSes
Mobile Browsers
It's followed by Nokia browser at 27.85%, & Safari mobile at 15.83% combined. Netfront is a browser for S60 while Openwave is a…. mobile gateway!?

awesome... im a stats lover.. :P
had a nice time increasing my General knowlodge..
but im dissapointed with the number of PCs that still use IE6.
The should be a law that phrohibits its use. Frankly frankly tou!
I use stat counter too :-)
IE6? a real nightmare to work with it and getting your site cross compatible!
Awesome stats CM6!
It's nice to see increase in Firefox usage. (Seriously, IE needs to be banned! Kill that non-standards compliant thing and save hours for web developers! :/ )
It's interesting to note WinXP usage. I predict the Win7 migration, but I am not too sure now. There seems to be lots of DRM issues with it according to Slashdot.
Regarding Linux users, it's quite understandable. I am a Linux user too, but I rarely use it now since most of my games and programs are on XP. That's where I usually browse the net.
@Inf
That DRM article is fake... :P
Refer to this Ars Technica post:
Oh, the humanity: Windows 7's draconian DRM?
Really nice article, as usual!!!
Firefox and Nokia FTW!!
Noticed that link on my statcounter dashboard but didnt chek. gonaa have a look now :-)
