You can't just feel free to assume that these statistics are 

representative of "most users"!


Have you tried to find out what is the nature of the sample group 

from which these stats have been accumulated? Their "sample pool" 

would most certainly have to be biased, probably in many ways. Until 

you see such information, and have statistical verification that the 

sample is representative of the entire population (all users), you 

have no reason to place value in the numbers.

"In particular, I was musing about where Flash would be in a couple 

of years.  Right now, it's been delivered to a vast number of 

clients, either by being packaged with a browser, or via a download. 

Developers are now developing Flash content that is small yet 

effective visually.  It seems to offer lots of design possibilities. 

Will it still be here in 3 years?  Adobe, who has deeper pockets than 

Macromedia, has announced a Flash competitor.  Will Macromedia 

survive?  Will their vision and focus, so far unsullied [*sic*], 

survive?"
