Delphi has a developer population of approx 1.75 million users worldwide in
2006. Delphi has 15% IDE marketshare overall (7.7% ranked out of 100%) and
is the #2 Windows IDE and the #4 IDE overall(C++Builder is #3 and #5
respectively).

For licenses distributed per version/year we may be able to provide guidance
under NDA to tool and component partners. I'll discuss this with David.

An anecdotal search yields an interesting "data":

Delphi VCL Controls and Components
1,300,000 for Delphi (VCL OR "visual component library") (control OR
component)
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Delphi+%28VCL+OR+%22visual+compo...

Delphi Winforms Controls and Components
800,000 for ".net" (winforms OR winform OR "windows forms") (control OR
component) (Delphi OR "Delphi .NET" OR Delphi.NET)
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22.net%22+%28winforms+OR+winfor...

.NET Winforms Controls and Components
3,810,000 for ".net" (winforms OR winform OR "windows forms") (control OR
component)
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22.net%22+%28winforms+OR+winfor...

C# Winforms Controls and Components
2,390,000 for ".net" (winforms OR winform OR "windows forms") (control OR
component) C#
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22.net%22+%28winforms+OR+winfor...

Visual Basic Winforms Controls and Components
2,440,000 for ".net" (winforms OR winform OR "windows forms") (control OR
component) (VB OR "visual basic" OR "visual basic.net" OR "vb.net").
