I'm waiting with baited breath...who? Red Hat? IBM? Apple? Oracle? Sun? Oh, I'm guessing you mean Microsoft... I suppose you're implying that because they have had Microsoft as a client at some point in the past that they are Microsoft's butt monkey or something. Are they also butt monkeys for the other names I listed? How can they be biased for all of their clients at once, when those clients are pushing diametrically opposed positions? Perhaps because they are impartial?
I happen to know someone who works at Evans Data. Yes, their clients are always looking for the results they'd like to see, but a good research company also needs to look out for its own reputation or risk losing credibility. They are scrupulous in their work, doing the research their clients ask for, but without putting a particular spin on the results. In the particular case of Microsoft, Evans Data has done at least a couple of studies for them. The first study they did came out with unfavorable results for MS, and MS subsequently dropped them as a client. MS came back at a later date after licking its wounds and commissioned further research because EDC is a reputable and legitimate company, and skilled at the kind of research they do.

Funnily enough, if you look, http://www.evansdata.com/company/clients.php, guess who one of their clients is ?

Frequent restarts of things on my computer make me furious. I can't imagine why anyone would tolerate such things.
Because other browsers have their problems too, and I have to web browse with something.
