To me what would be more interesting would be some statistics on shops
that migrated off the platform, and have since come back.
I doubt if after having gone thru the time and expense of converting to
a unix or windows based platform, many would be willing to
pay that time and expense again, to come back, even if the current
platform left a lot to be desired.
Another statistic that would be interesting is how many tried to leave,
and failed.
