Anyone have numbers on how many machines / % of internet uses have Google Native Client?

I'm curious about google NaCL as a platform: it seems to combine the best of the web (just a webpage, accessible on any machine) and desktop apps (OpenGL, C/C++ power). The only question is -- what percent of the world actually use it.

Anyone have data on this?

Thanks!

I think it's safe to say it's well under 1%. Does the actual percentage (.001%? .01%?) make any difference?

The technology might or might not have much merit, but you've asked the question way to early, before it's had a chance to show it's colours.

P.S.: BTW, you can make an educated guess about the number of users by the number of times the "nativeclient" tag has been used on SO. ;)

Well, at least ~50 Native Client developers must have it installed.
