It annoys me so much, too, that Microsoft keeps on advertising with those fictitious numbers, despite multiple studies showing very different results. At some point, it’s just misleading advertising, which is illegal where I live.
Because its a “study” and “statistics” and not an “advertisement”, it does not fall under the laws of ads I assume. And why too many take this seriously, because it presents numbers… Microsoft is not the only company doing this, but one of the strongest companies to fight against. It’s actually depressing.
