User base

[owen]

JK,
First off, thanks for a great version (4.2.7). We have just started rolling out and so far have not encountered ANY issues (as opposed to the crashes from earlier versions).

I have just recently presented a review summary to management on the progress of myd implementation and was asked a question..."What is the user base for MYD"? The management team are of the opinion that a product is likely to be more reliable and better supported if it has a significant user base (rightly or wrongly).

Anyway, do you have any idea, possibly from download statistics, an estimate on how many copies of MYD are in use? Alternatively, number of downloads?

I appreciate that you will have a mix of corporate & personal users , but any stats that you have on your distribution would be appreciated.

Thanks

I am sorry but I do not have exact stats. Some time ago I analyzed the logfiles and it was several hundred thousand downloads from the MyDefrag website only, it is also available from lot's of software websites all over the internet. My estimate for both JkDefrag and MyDefrag together is tens of millions of users. The biggest installation I know of is a fortune company with 100.000+ computers (which counts as only a single download from the MyDefrag website).
