Only sad in the sense that there are fewer Linux users in the world.

Using the averages and the approximate 50% / 25% / 25% split for
Windows / Mac / Linux, we get the following user count:

	Windows user count: 66,140  ($1,052,942 * .50 / $7.96)
	Mac user count:     25,858  ($1,052,942 * .25 / $10.18)
	Linux user count:   18,079  ($1,052,942 * .25 / $14.56)
