Looking for Computer Support Statistics

Hi Folks,

This may sound a bit strange but I'm trying to get my hands on some computer support statistics. I would like to see any research done that would tell me what percentage of tech calls are because of faulty hardware, software, user messed up, etc.

Does anyone know where I might find anything like this on the Internet?

Thanks,
Wanabe

Send a message via AIM to Xayd
User error/explanation --- about 80%
Faulty software --- about 15%
Faulty hardware --- about 5%

I've been doing phone support for about 2 years.

I've done wholesale for 2.5 years and retail now for about 4, I think Xayd has posted some reasonable numbers.

User fault - 100% (its the user who bought the damn thing in the first place)
