Do you think they deliberately tried to make the graph look like Pac-Man? Yellow for IE, dark gray for Mac on a black background and the rest of the pie wedges at the bottom. |

Knowing El Reg, I'm quite positive that it's intentional :-) |

Nonetheless, you must admit it is much, much better than this: http://marketshare.hitslink.com/os-market-share.aspx?qprid=9 If the numbers were not there, one would have to wonder why bother? Moreover, when splitting fractional percentages, what is the estimated error? Remember this is a survey with many variables, not a precise measurement of hard data. My guess is the error range exceeds the average observed monthly change. Personally, I cannot wait until the dentist enters and orders open wide, so we can finally see the teeth. |
