Thanks Florian, I started to think along those lines after I posted. Is 
that info only available to an admin or should I be able to find it 
myself (I've had no success so far)?

Assuming that a significant number of Lazarus users do or did use 
Delphi, the interesting statistic is whether more are developing for the 
Mac (OS X) or for x64 (Windows/Linux) since that might give some 
indication of what priorities Embarcadero should have if they really are 
interested in progressing Delphi as a live product.

I don't know how anybody else feels, but I'd have no objection to a 
"popularity contest" extension which submitted anonymous platform 
details when (e.g.) Lazarus or FPC was first installed or had a version 
upgrade. If it could track LCL usage it could possibly answer some 
questions like how many people are still using GTK v1.
