Really?  I'm really suprised.  Where does the data come from?  Does SBS submit 
installation stats?  Is it based on MySqueezebox.com client browser user agent 
info?  Or perhaps survey data from forum posters, who may be more technically 
inclined?  Or perhaps you are only looking at people that have a choice (people 
using SBS 7.6)?

I wasn't trying to suggest that Linux support should be dropped, BTW :-)

More like 99%, as most are not on SBS 7.6 yet ;-)

But I get your point.

Only if it works, which for me it doesn't, so it's currently an easy decision 
for me to make.  I've tried 7.6 several times, including blowing away my 
settings, starting failsafe (no third-party plugins).

If performance is truly better, and when it works rock-solid, then it's a solid 
reason to switch.
