Not sure, but anecdotally (from conversations devels have had in their
classes, with colleagues, and at national meetings) at least as many
as there are current users.

In some sense, the server model is supposed to make this a non-issue,
though; each server has at least tens of users, and some have hundreds
(this doesn't count foo.sagenb.org, which have thousands,
cumulatively).  Still, I think Harald has in the past pointed to the
VM being one of the (perhaps most?) most popular downloads, despite it
being a little annoying to use.
