Update/Retraction
July 25, 2005 @ 02:26 AMDavid Mackintosh noted on my last posting that he was interpreting the numbers to mean something different than what I posted. After re-reading the article from a printout I had made, I concluded that David was full of crap.
Then I checked the online version. It has since been updated with the key paragraph reworded. And in fact, David Mackintosh’s interpretation of the new article is accurate.
From my printout: “The report found that in businesses with 250 employees or more, 17 percent of the employees were running Mac OS X on their desktop computer at work. In businesses that had 10,000 or more employees, 21 percent of employees used Mac OS X on their desktop work computer.”
The article’s revised wording: “The report found that 17 percent of businesses with 250 employees or more were running Mac OS X on their desktop computers. Twenty-one percent of businesses that had 10,000 or more employees used Mac OS X on their desktop.”
Thanks for bringing that to my attention, David.
