Last I checked, IE4+ accounted for 80+% of the web browser market. Also
last I checked, IE4+ supported enough of the PNG standard to make it
as useful as GIF (indexed palette PNGs and 1 bit transparency). PhotoShop,
Paint Shop Pro, and GIMP support PNG out of the box, and I bet that
accounts for 80+% of the image manipulation/creation market.

The "PNG thing" hasn't stopped plaguing PNG yet, and unfortunately it
won't stop be used against Ogg any time soon either, I bet.
