Memo from Martin P Burns of PricewaterhouseCoopers

-------------------- Start of message text --------------------

The GVU surveys are now pretty long in the tooth.

More up to date: http://www.nua.ie/surveys/

But the most *accurate* information is that which you collect
on your own site, with your own users. Stats tend to be self-
selecting, and will change depending on the audience you're
addressing.

So http://www.microsoft.com will probably get a higher proportion
of win/ie users than (say) http://slashdot.org/, and http://www.apple.com/
will get more Macs than either.

Cheers
Martin
