Offtopic, also shows you have commercially significant Linux on the desktop is;
Now don’t flame me, I did say commercially significant.
Kev
From those statistics it would seem as if Linux is almost non-exsistant on the desktop. But I guess lots of people are visiting those sites from school, work etc, where they use Windows, as Mac usage is also somewhat lower than I expected. It wouldn’t hurt to provide some cross-platform installer such as Webstart or just the JAR, as there is always someone who will complain about the lack of a Linux version.
Heya, sorry for the wrong information on that blog… At the time I wrote that, I was hell-bent on flash games because flash was so much easier to install on my live-disk linux setup at the time (my hard drive was fried, but flash was quick and easy to download and install off of Ubuntu’s dual live-disk and install CD. I guess I had installed java one time, without remembering, and wrote up that post thinking it was a flash game, having played it on my linux session.
In any case, thanks for the link, and I have edited the line so it says java now. And, if it is your game, great job! My girl found the game, and it spread through her office (where it appears they don’t do any actual work) like a California wildfire. After trying it a few times, I found that it was a great way to pass the time, to the point that after playing it on and off for a year now, I think there are still ways to improve my game.
Take care

It’s a ROI thing. Fortunately xplatformness is a piece of cake with Java. So, it would be silly not to support other available platforms - even if it would results in only 1% more sales/income.
Yes, exactly. It´s 1 hour work to at least provide this.
It seems all statistics provided in this thread are about versions for users who have already installed some modern-day version of Java. However, I still haven´t seen the most interesting statistics - the chance that a random computer has at least Java version X installed. The ones from Adobe are clearly rubbish, they claim on their website that 85% of users have Java installed, but this should be at least 90% because of the Microsoft 1.1 JVM.
