We recently reported that a press release published by Digital Music News claimed that Limewire, the popular P2P program, was installed on over one-third of all home PCs; 36.4 percent to be exact.
TorrentFreak however, citing the raw data from which the press release was built upon, is saying that DMN actually misinterpreted their data and the real install base is just under 18 percent.
The data, collected by PC Pitstop explains that Limewire holds a 36.4 percent market share as compared to other P2P clients meaning that of all the PCs that have a P2P client installed, 36.4 percent have installed Limewire.
Those figures mean that the real install base of Limewire is almost 18 percent, still a large number, but nowhere near the 36.4 percent reported.
