Hello,

I need to get some real stats on how many computers run which O/S.  My purposes cannot use "market share" as an indicator, but a best estimate of the real numbers.  I will derive my own market share and percentage numbers myself.

Thanks!

Maybe you could get some indications from StatCounter's Global Stats.

StatCounter Global Stats are based on over 15 billion hits per month, by a random sample of people worldwide, to over 3 million global websites, covering multiple interest areas and geographic locations.

Well, most are given as %, so you'll have a hard time there.

BAH~! Forget it~! Just make them up like everyone else~! :P :D
