I think The Register analysis is likely right, but you can't say MS is wrong by looking at your two quotes. 10 M in roughly 17 weeks for 98 versus 7 M in 2 weeks for XP. I don't put any stock in MS's numbers - it's not worth the trouble IMHO. Cheers, Scott.
Post #24,101 by Andrew Grygus 1/12/02 9:37:33 PM Reply	In that two weeks since release . . . . . Microsoft is counting all the OEM sales previous to the actual release date. I had clients already running XP weeks before the actual release. It would be much more realistic to call it 6 weeks, not 2. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]

You say, "Williams, how can you get away with such political incorrectness?" It's easy. I'm a tenured professor, and I have diversified sources of income -- plus, I don't have much longer in this world.
