But "your visitors can run your applications" still contains an uncontrolled variable... for someone developing for a library system or for hospital kiosks they might have either 0% viewability or 100% viewability.

You are right that we can't say your visitors match the general demographic. However, I have asked many enterprise software vendors to check our published stats against corporate environments where IT shops usually keep computers more locked down. From everything I've heard our published stats aren't more than two percent off. Yet everyone should verify this kind of thing with their user base. Maybe your user base still uses green screens.

We can say that 93% of consumers tested could immediately view SWF9 files. But we have no knowledge of whether a particular developer is delivering to an audience which does not match general consumer norms. (If you ask another company to make their own statistics, they probably will. But whether it measures the same thing would be a separate issue.) “If you develop with Flex 2 or the upcoming Flex 3, 93.3% of your visitors can run your applications without any hassle of having to update Flash.”
