Shrapnel games might know something more about this.

However we will release patches later on and they will be seperate downloads for different platforms. So by counting the downloads it should be quite easy to see if a particular OS is used or not.

Just a technical question for you. How are you maintaining interoperability? Is the program made in Java? Or maybe you just use standard C++ or whatever and then have different modules that have the platform specific code?
