But saying a billion isn't the same as giving an estimation of growth. It just seems like a misleading (even if true) statistic.

- Herring 17y agoIt's probably meant the same way as McDonalds saying so many billion served. A lot of people come in more than once.
- steiger 17y agoIf a billion downloads today is much larger than what it used to be, then yes, I would see it as an estimation of growth. I see easily how can it mislead people, but, really, I don't see it as enough reason to not promote the software that way. 1 billion downloads is really something to celebrate, and I would celebrate it even if it has a potential to mislead some people.
