Richard, appreciate your research as always. Beware of grasping at any life preserver in these dark times, however! The ISN link is useful but pretty unscientific. And the DFC list is dubious as well. While the sales of the video games might play out in something like that order, I don't think the hardware list is really based on sales. According to that list GVIL is outselling US Robotics on the Windows side. Hardly. Besides, DFC isn't exactly Dataquest, or Jupiter, or Gartner. I take that GVIL listing with about as much weight as the Time Digital rave. A sign of growing awareness of the GVIL offering, but not earthshaking.
Angier, that link was a good one. Here's a sobering one on the new standard: www5.zdnet.com
