When MS refuse to actually give the official figures, what is wrong with a large scale survey? I'm guessing you've never read a paper where surveys are legitimately used? You can't write off evidence like that "just because" ;)

There is nothing wrong with surveys but there is a difference between representative ones and "others". So no, there is nothing wrong with it, I just doubt it it something that one can believe in.


Unless you can justify your doubt you are being mindlessly sceptical and the survey should be regarded as a legitmate source of information with regard to 360 failure rates.


Ehhh... no :)

What a compelling argument. Do you appreciate the irony that you are trying to criticise the validity of a source of evidence and yet your agument is "er no"? If you can't justify your point, don't make one ;)


Thing is that you had to justify your point and it turned out your argument was based on an arbitrary survey from an arbitrary magazine. If you take this for real we can use all future polls here on this site as a representative survey.
