I can understand that.  There's just no quantitative information I can find.

Claus has done some great work at
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeMarketing/MarketAnalysis that doesn't quite match
as well, so you're probably right.  And the table of marketshare that Claus
has on that page is also a survey.

One other thing I should have said, and I apologize, is Stormy did help with
the Brief, and I don't want folks to think I'm taking solo credit.

Keep the comments coming!
