They're not only incorrect but also stating facts out of context. Furthermore, Microsoft doesn't have any obligation to expose their real numbers if they don't want to.

If it's ever needed to cite numbers, at least tell what the context is instead of naming some number out of the blue from 15 years ago and assuming it's still the same windows

This makes me think of a parallel world, where all the big IT companies show off there LOC regularly. Starting a "LOC war", as if it would mean anything of value.
