[Adium-devl] Of Spotlight, Tiger, and Panther

[Ofri Wolfus]

You weren't asking about Adium's users base :-P
Since Omni's products are widely used, I think these statistics can  
be assumed to be close to the truth, but it's only my opinion...  
Besides, I don't have any other statistics ;)
Perhaps we can check the bug reports to get an idea about Adium's  
users base?
