Do you guys know the breakdown of which OS's are downloading? I'd bet there are more XP's out there than linux. Though maybe not. I am still using an XP...though I have a win 7 as well, just have to finish setting it up.

On Mac, folks are given a dmg file that essentially installs the installer and I don't believe it requires that AIR is already installed. Or am I wrong about that? On Linux, you're saying the package we create still requires a separate install of AIR? I'm not a huge fan of the "install the installer" experience. I don't know if there is an alternative when using AIR. That's one reason why I'm hoping to leverage the installer to be able to install other Apache Flex stuff (and maybe other stuff as well). It looks like node.js has a package manager that sort of does the same thing. So does cygwin setup on Windows. But having to install AIR separately on Linux would be annoying. Can we count on Java being on every OS? I heard it isn't on WinXP. Do we need to support that? -Alex
