If someone wants to make a purdy graph, go ahead.
Now, looking at one of my French domains that gets regular type-in traffic, it's traffic has gone up by 130% over that time.
Not the 400% increase you would expect if the original traffic was just from Firefox users.
This suggests one of 2 things to me:
1. A not insignificant number of IE6 users had the IDN plugin installed, so were making it to the site prior to the release of IE7.
and/or
2. The special version of IE7 released by Wannadoo/Orange does NOT append .com to the end of keywords typed into the address bar, so the traffic increase is only IE7 AU upgrades.

I'm really desapointed about all the statements there.
- Based on our french portfolio (very diversified, only generic names) traffic was high before IE7 and Vista and is still at same level !
-Wannadoo/Orange are access provider and not browser provider, don't mix french telecoms and browsers
Please stop giving the illusion that IDN are flying now as it is not the case yet.
I by myself had a lot of hopes on IE7 but noted that IDNs are a much more complicated matter as to register a country name in swahili and wait for the cash.
