I have difficulty with the ratio of 2.6 98 users to one ME
user. I don't recall hearing anyone say they will never switch
from ME, as I have from 98. The people I knew who used ME all
switched back to 98 before XP.
Who uses windows server 2003 to browse the internet? The survey
shows nearly as many 2003 users as 98 users. Maybe these are
crawlers.
The low end numbers look suspect.
