Why would you want to do that? Isn't it the classic marketing error to
provide free airtime to the competition? In addition, if you start
reporting such statistics you become responsible for their accuracy and
that's not something that I think Adobe would be interested in, as least
as regards a competitor's product.

Subject: [flexcoders] OT: FP Ubiquity Stats Lack Silverlight
Comparison
Excuse the mild OT, just curious if anyone knows why Microsoft
Silverlight stats are not included here in penetration comparisons:
http://www.adobe.com/products/player_census/flashplayer/
It would seem to me, with Silverlight having fairly low
penetration stats I would imagine (even after the Olympics) that this
would be a huge marketing plus for Adobe. Millward Brown, commissioned
by Adobe, did the survey just this past June, it seems silly the product
most closely competing with the Flash Player is Silverlight and it's not
included in the comparison.
And if someone at Adobe is listening, this is important since
this page is linked to from some Creative Suite 4 promo pages on the
site, for example, the page touting Illustrator's Flash player
capabilities:
http://www.adobe.com/products/illustrator/?promoid=BPDEG
Anyway, just a mild rant for the day. J Maybe someone can pass
this on to the right folks at Adobe.
