Collection or Report query for IE versions

Question

Hi
I'm looking for a way to create a collection and also a report which consists of IE versions. Many of the queries available with forums are showing old versions as well the new versions and it's duplicating the system names. Client systems are running with
Windows 7 
Thanks in advance

Hello Jorgen
The above one gives total number of systems, but not sure about the correctness of numbers returned.
We used below 2 queries for creating the collections and even each of them displyaing different lists
select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_SoftwareProduct on SMS_G_System_SoftwareProduct.ResourceID
= SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_SoftwareProduct.ProductVersion like "x.%" and SMS_G_System_SoftwareProduct.ProductName like "%Internet Explorer%"
select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_SoftwareFile on SMS_G_System_SoftwareFile.ResourceID
= SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_SoftwareFile.FileName = "iexplore.exe" and SMS_G_System_SoftwareFile.FileVersion like "x.%"
**Replace x with the version number
So not sure which one to use. 
Anyway we created collections for IE 8/9/10 & 11, since the list contains overlapped systems or system names we created another collections which contains just IE 8 / 9 / 10 or 11 versions by comparing and removing the collections created before. For
eg. IE 11 collection created before is the one just for IE 11 since there are no newer versions and so no collections, IE 10 Collection (contains only IE 10) by compare IE 10 & 11 collections and excluded those in IE 11, IE 9 Collection created by comparing
IE 9/10 & 11 collections and excluded those in 10 & 11 and so for IE 8 only.
So can you tell me which query provides the exact collection result?
