StatCounter's stats are very similar to Wikimedia's though. Net Applications is the outlier.
I've only seen IE in the #1 position in the stats of corporate extranet applications.
For all the regular websites it's generally Chrome and IE is either in 2nd or 3rd place. Firefox is kinda popular here, you see.
"Unreliable" is a pretty odd word choice, by the way. Global stats are always different from your own stats. By catering to a particular demographic you're inevitably introducing a massive bias.
Naturally, the only thing that matters are your own stats for a particular website. If it's 95% IE8 then that's how things are. IE8 has to work perfectly. There is no way around it.
