With my number I get 73% on windows, 27% on Linux (mac and others not
counted)

An everybody could take his own examples ... that's why I rather go with the
numbers we can measure.

I never said so. It all depends on the numbers yiou "guess" to "calculate". 
Sam Hiser even calculated a toal marketshare of above 30% for OOo on such a
base. 

Another way to get better numbers was to look at the mailheaders at the
users lists (unfortunately not all mailers provide the platform ID).
Quick check at [EMAIL PROTECTED], out of 10 random Mails:
- 6 Windows
- 3 Linux
- 2 unknown
