These are "RescueTime early adopters". Some of this data was captured because managers actually installed in companies and checked out what the secretaries and the Dilberts were doing. The secretaries and the Dilberts are not early adopters. They may be using RescueTime, alongside Outlook and other crap. #2. If your manager has installed this big-brothery thing, what do you do? You GAME the system. You put outlook in front and go to lunch. You pretend to do much more work than is actually done. It would be great to see the data from TechCrunch readers only. #1.

I use Outlook here because that's what we all use here. I use Word here because clients send them to us and I have to open them and I already have Office installed, so why bother using OpenOffice (which is what I use at home). I'd imagine a lot of people are in a similar situation. They're mostly tracking their time at work, and a lot of people are still using MS apps at work, not by choice, but because they have to. When they go home they probably use Gmail and whatever else, but if they're not running RescueTime at home, then obviously you're not seeing it in these stats.
