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.
