Just wish that sensationalist reports gave some meaningful figures... up 472% mean nothing unless you know what the starting point is!!! If 4 months ago, there was one a month and then then it increased to 5 a month then you've got a 500% increase but still insignificant compared to say Windows but if it was a 100 a month and now it's 500 then that's a lot more noticeable...
