angadsingh007 Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 looks like microsoft is under attack...all that i can say is that in this game ...microsoft's competitior's require a lot of "arsenal" to win...It will take far bigger an army to try to fade away this giant
prathapml Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 It'd be bad for the industry if MS were to die out.BTW, am I the only one to notice that the figures above do not add up?100% of Database = 49 mysql + 64 msSQL?
DigeratiPrime Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 great image! all the statistics are probably accurate; most dont add up to 100% which makes sense since someone might be using some other program. Databases is the only one to go over 100%, maybe some organizations use both? More likely a typo.
sven Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 they dont all add up to 100% because there are other programs that are not shown. im sure theres a lot more browsers (opera, ect) desktop os, and all that other stuff
prathapml Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 If they add up to less than 100%, its understandable that there's an "other" item there to take up the rest of the percentage left.But the concept of 49% + 64% is what's wacky! The word "percentage" itself means "adding up to a portion of 100" whereas this goes over it!
XtremeMaC Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 lol just saw this topic, i'd add a outlook in there as well instead of oeow btw 49+64 = 113 , maybe some use both?
sven Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 maybe microsoft made some false stats so the percentages got screwed up
gamehead200 Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 This was taken from WIRED magazine... I have the issue with this picture right in front of me... There's an article in there about when Bill Gates will hire Linus Torvalds (2010)...
Zxian Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 I was just thinking about the e-mail section of the pic...They forget to include Outlook (from the Office Suite) in there. I know a lot more people who use Outlook rather than OE for their mail clients.I don't really think that it's a fair argument... very biased in any respect.
SiMoNsAyS Posted February 27, 2005 Author Posted February 27, 2005 some of the % doesn't match probably because some people use both of the alternatives proposed.numbers doesn't matter, i still find this pic funny
phoenix_nf Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 MS is pretty strong to be able to stand all threat and a lot more.
