I agree...plus the Linux downloads are split into lots of small
packages, were the Windows download is one file.  This is also what
drives me mad about companies publishing the populaty of OSes based on
sales or whatever else (I mention no names.. :)  ).  Linux has a huge
"invisible" community because we are allowed to distribute copies
legally and get them from all over the internet without payment.
Windows OS copies are much easier to track because they have to be
bought and registered.

I'm going a bit off-topic here, sorry.  But again, Linux users can now
get copies via 'apt'.  Then what about the loads of people using 'svn'
to keep up to date.  I think I've only downloaded one copy of FPC for
Windows and Linux, but have been keeping up to date via svn for the
last 3 years.  I don't think we will every be able to give a accurate
count per OS.
