"Cat got your tongue? (something important seems to be missing from your comment... like the body or the subject!)"
Netcraft reports that Google has 7.39% of all active web servers in their survey. Does that really mean that 7.39% of all web servers on the web are run by Google? Thats as interesting to me as the Apache vs. MS numbers.
I wonder what percent of the netcraft's MS number is MS machines.
Since IBM has both versions of the code, and since much time has passed since this issue arose, it would seem reasonable that IBM has already performed an analysis like this.
So where is the result?
If it was to their benefit, couldn't they leak out the results, if nothing else?
Indeed, continuing with this etymology, "letting the cat out of the bag" refers to the discovery of the secret that there was a cat in the bag instead of a pig. In modern usage then it means you gave away any secret.
I agree with your conclusion, but I think a more apt analogy might be, "You're up five runs in the 8th, your own closer is tired from previous games in the series, and Barry Bonds gets to hit for the next 6 at bats." Maybe your closer will keep the lead or maybe Barry will hit two grandslams.

Maybe it was a stronger wind current at a slightly different elevation.
I have full-spectrum lighting, dude!
I can see light in 256 * 256 * 256 colors from my monitor, and that's the only light here in my mom's basement.
Actually this NYTimes.com article [reg-required] points out that most monitors only display a fraction of the NTSC color pallette.

So maybe the result isn't favorable...
