If by "outside the channel" you mean

Pete "athynz" Athens 1st Feb 2010

direct sales of the OS vs buying it bundled with a new computer then there have been plenty of sales... hell everyone sold out of the 3-pack family upgrade versions that could upgrade 3 computers be they running Vista or XP 32 or 64 bit. And before you say anything note that BestBuy, Amazon, TigerDirect, and Microsoft were all selling the packs... and I was fortunate enough to get one prior to Microsoft ending that particular bundle.

As for the Net Applications data - that is the same data Mozilla uses when calculating Firefox usage so why is it applicable for Firefox to get usage data but not Microsoft? And please explain the "skewed by default" data...
