Vista beats it by a point, but I still think it's a good showing! (XP has just about 80%)

That's not market share. It's kinda embarrassing that a financial publication can't get their terms right.

And the fact that the spreadsheet published there has a URL with dotted-red underline to show a spelling mistake. Classy.

Subtlety is wasted on business types. Trust me, I work in a bank.

Fortune did a story a couple weeks ago, with a headline that read the Rolling Stones tour "Netted" 500 million dollars, and in reading the story it turned out to be total gross revenue. Which is still great, but a big difference than the Net.
So I think we should take Fortune's ubiquitous top 100 lists with a grain of salt.
