    Some time ago, I posted the number of points found by the various
    client "versions" (the info that the ECDL clients report in the first
    lines of their messages). By popular demand, here is an updated
    version of this table. First, considering all points found since the
    beginning of the challenge:

    Unix64 314628 points (33.5%) 1161 machines 271.0 points/machine
    Unix32 MMX 291396 points (31.1%) 1424 machines 204.6 points/machine
    Cygwin32 MMX 106876 points (11.4%) 714 machines 149.7 points/machine
    WIN32 96079 points (10.2%) 852 machines 112.8 points/machine
    Unix32 75727 points (8.1%) 1780 machines 42.5 points/machine
    W32GUI MMX 35198 points (3.8%) 369 machines 95.4 points/machine
    MacOS 8949 points (1.0%) 125 machines 71.6 points/machine
    WINDOWS NT 4533 points (0.5%) 8 machines 566.6 points/machine
    Cygwin32 3498 points (0.4%) 150 machines 23.3 points/machine
    W32GUI 812 points (0.1%) 46 machines 17.7 points/machine
    OS/2 MMX 321 points (0.0%) 3 machines 107.0 points/machine
    OS/2 102 points (0.0%) 2 machines 51.0 points/machine
    BeOS-4.5 MMX 94 points (0.0%) 1 machines 94.0 points/machine
    VC6-jfoug MMX 53 points (0.0%) 5 machines 10.6 points/machine
    spectrum 52 points (0.0%) 3 machines 17.3 points/machine

    It is also interesting to look only at the points found last week, to
    see recent "trends":

    Unix64 38744 points (29.1%) 663 machines 58.4 points/machine
    Unix32 MMX 36363 points (27.3%) 873 machines 41.7 points/machine
    WIN32 21746 points (16.4%) 582 machines 37.4 points/machine
    W32GUI MMX 12867 points (9.7%) 309 machines 41.6 points/machine
    Unix32 12516 points (9.4%) 1056 machines 11.9 points/machine
    Cygwin32 MMX 8993 points (6.8%) 207 machines 43.4 points/machine
    MacOS 948 points (0.7%) 60 machines 15.8 points/machine
    Cygwin32 349 points (0.3%) 36 machines 9.7 points/machine
    W32GUI 266 points (0.2%) 35 machines 7.6 points/machine
    WINDOWS NT 118 points (0.1%) 2 machines 59.0 points/machine
    OS/2 MMX 77 points (0.1%) 3 machines 25.7 points/machine
    spectrum 9 points (0.0%) 1 machines 9.0 points/machine
    OS/2 4 points (0.0%) 1 machines 4.0 points/machine

    The various Windows versions are the main contributors for last week
    (32.9% total), but rank third on the whole challenge (26.4%).
    Notice also the considerable increase in popularity of the "WIN32" and
    "W32GUI" clients, and the corresponding loss of popularity of the
    Cygwin client.

    Keep up the good work!
