    | Alec, if you go to:
    | 
    | http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6235
    | 
    | You'll see that for 1.2.6:
    | 
    |    9.2     million Windows downloads.
    |    0.5     million Mac OSX downloads.
    |    73,000  src (typically for linux?) downloads.
    | 
    | Most Linux distros now include Audacity, so this figure significantly 
    | under represents the Linux usage.  Audacity also occurs frequently on 
    | computing magazine cover disks, as well as being bundled with products, 
    | so overall use figures would be higher.

May be worth also re-iterating the reluctance of Windows users to download
the Beta. Only about 3% of Windows downloads in the last year or so were
Beta compared to over a third of Mac downloads. Hopefully no longer calling 
the Beta "unstable" might help.
