1479.0. "Market Question" by MRKTNG::ROGERS_R () Thu May 23 1991 11:53

    I'm trying to gauge the size and scope of our customer base.  Does
    anyone know (or care to estimate) how many VAXes have been sold over
    the past 15 yrs?  Also, what percentage of the total number of VAXes
    out there are VAX 780s, 750s, 8XXX, 6XXX?
    
    Thanks,

	isn't this slightly skewy, shouldn't the field be asking marketing, rather than the other way round? Simon PS, ask in the Marketing conference......

1479.3	Here's what we use	GTIGUY::CLOSE		`Thu May 23 1991 17:43`	3
	The official number we use in speeches, release, etc. is 400,000 installed VAXes. Guestimates have it that this translates to at least 10 million users.
1479.4	Found info yet?	FSOA::CMCMAHON		`Fri Jul 05 1991 15:15`	2
	If you're still looking, you might try Lou Swinand @MRO. I believe he was working on the same type of info a couple months ago.
