only 400 to 600 Linux users visit the BBC
website<http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/11/01/133259&tid=188>,
the BBC's Ashley Highfield has now admitted that they got their numbers
wrong <http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/2007/11/linux_figures_1.html>.
The new estimate is between 36,600 and 97,600 according to his blog post. He
stops short of describing how Auntie arrives at these two widely different
sets of numbers and how their initial estimate is two orders of magnitude
out."*

controlling everything that is Umbrella.
A combination of Microsoft and the US Military. At some level there is a
board of directors who meet once a
month and decide all of our fates."
