Download stats per platform?

In the first 1 million or so AOO downloads, the breakdown was 87%
Windows, 11% Macintosh and 2% Linux.

But, of course, there's been over 50 million. Do we have a
per-platform breakdown of the numbers since then for AOO?

Correct. Actually aggregated stats are meant to be used only for generic stats about totals. to create reports per releases and/or languages Sourceforge's API are a better mouse trap (as proved by Rob's interesting stats!).

That page measures something subtly different.  It shows what platform
the user was running when downloading.   The number I reported was
what platform version of AOO the user downloaded.

The numbers should be close, but it is possible, for example, that a
user downloads the Mac version of AOO from a Windows machine at work,
and then copies onto a USB key to bring home to install on their Mac.
 The SF page would count that as a Windows user.  My report would
count that as a Mac user.

That chart shows it day-by-day.  The %'s vary over time.  But the
average over the year is:

Windows:  88%
Mac OS: 10%
Linux: 2%

So little difference compared to the distribution reported initially.
It still reflects the distribution of desktop OS usage in the market.
