Re: IDC prognostications

IDC is like the Madame-Gonzola-Get-Your-Palm-Read-and-Know-The-Future for the starched-shirt crowd.

I learned a long time ago that the average Knight of the PC Sector Round Table <g> is much sharper than those folks. If you want a good giggle read their reports.

I mean, come on. "a new breed of low-end appliances will go from 4% to 42% of the market"

Anybody with a good statistical head will immediately realize that the confidence intervals on this kind of projection are so wide the numbers are meaningless. That they even publish this kind of crap is statistical blasphemy. <continued apoplectic mouth foaming>

God bless,
PX
