You should have "split" the XP / Win2k numbers
Skinners should remember to skin for Win2k users,
Please, Thanks

That's really not something that's newsworthy. I really don't care who referred the most people, or what screen resolution other people are using, or for that matter even their operating system. It's annoying really.
