Thanks for the stats! Very interesting indeed. Most people here are technology trend-setters and are influencers. Usually, you can forecast what people will use in the next few years by looking at what "alpha geeks" use today (Tim O'Reilly's term).

I am not so sure. I still think in 5 years time Windows will be the dominant desktop/client platform (yet the "alpha geeks" generally avoid it).

I hope that isn't the case, but I know that it is just hope.
