<<Even without Robert's background in math, I detect a conflict with
printed reports that a majority of Corporate PCs running Windows
are running Windows 3.1. Surely home users do not account for
80% of PC usage !>>
The figure seemed high to me, but was widely quoted in connection with
the recent anti-trust dealings involving microsoft. I have not investigated
to see if the quoted figure of 90% comes from the justice department, and
it is always possible that it is distorted. I must say that my experience
is that although these uncited "printed reports" saying that a majority
of corporate PC's are running Windows 3.1 may have been right 12 months
ago, these days, most corporate environments I interact with are running
either NT or Win95.
