None of which actually give you even close to accurate #s, unfortunately 
... for instance, website stats ... if you were to look at the ones for 
freebsd.org, how many would be "Windows Browsers" :(  And then we are only 
talking about desktops, not servers ...

As to stuff like CVSup logs ... how many large deployments have one 
central CVSup 'downloader' while the rest in the org just feed off of 
that?
