The figures are not derived from observation of what all visiters to any paticular site are using. This of course means that the casual user and those browsing at work (ones least likely to upgrade player)are most likely to be excluded from the survey. My feeling therefor is that Adobes statistics are more of a PR tool than an aid in determining actual penetration in your users. Stick with your own stats :) Interesting to note from the methodology from the adobe statistics that respondants have to put in quite a bit of effort and time providing background info and set up passwords.
