You could have stopped reading at the "ha ha!". I never looked at that site
to be honest, so thanks for the laugh. That site could be run by a shill or
a relative/affiliate of Microsoft staff. They use such bogus figures to
elevate morale. It's a recruitment/vanity stat.
So how much does Microsoft pay its shills? Are they paid by the post or do
they fill out a timesheet? They still resist and object to change, such as
Linux. I wonder why...
Best wishes,
Roy
