i'm curious as to how they got these stats.  presumably a browser check 

of every visitor to a certain site which scanned installed plug-ins.  i 

wonder what kind of controls there were, though.  it may be like the 

flash download statistics where i've downloaded the plug in personally 

four times and been counted as four users.  is it possible that the site 

from which these statistics were taken attracts people with certain 

browser habits?  perhaps we should scatter the same survey across several 

sites (like a neilsen rating sort of thing) and get a solid sample.  not 

that i expect flash to all of a sudden jump to the top of the list, but 

i'd like some solid statistics to give to potential clients.
