Some googling shows ~20 million software developers around the world. Some googling shows roughly 2 billion households globally and 50% of them have a PC in their household. So let’s say 1 billion PC users.

20 million / 1 billion = 2%

So yes, it seems like a small market relatively.

Remember Steve Ballmer?

Developers are incredibly important for an ecosystem and having them a bit more optimistic about a platform can be quite beneficial (for a very low price, even).
