Ahh the joy of being able to make statistics say whatever you want....

That is, there are currently still less Vista users than Mac users.
"whole of 2007" and "currently" are clearly two very different time periods
- especially when you're talking about an OS which hasn't even been
available for "the whole of 2007".
A more realistic statistic would be to re-do the counts including only the
past 1 or (at most) 3 months. If Vista managed 4.57% when averaged over the
whole year, then I'd be very surprised if it didn't beat MacOS's 5.12% if
you were looking only over a shorter time period.
