I'm not sure counting new machines is a good idea. A major unknown to consider is the number of existing units running win9x that never paid for the product and will be forced to buy XP. Nobody knows the statistic but I bet if you walked into any small business they would have one or two registered copies of win9x and all the other machines would be running the same copy since there is no way to police it. This has been my observation and I bet it is true everywhere. All those units will now have to pay for a copy or run win9x forever.
