Have you read the report that was linked in the message you're replying 
to here? I would say that unless you're privy to some kind of 
information that the rest of us are not (for example, having coughed up 
the US$500 for access to the report), you can't make that claim with any 
real accuracy.

The title of the report uses the term "Market Share", which would lead 
me to believe that they *are* counting installed base, not just sales. 
However, they might further qualify the definition of "Market Share" in 
the report itself, but I'm not going to pay to read a silly report.
