.NET/Mono Install Base

Me and some friends are considering writing a new FOSS project, and the debate is divided between using .NET or something else.

So I am wondering if there is an advertised install base for Mono on Linux machines? and, if there known install base of Mono or the Microsoft .Net on windows machines?

Thanks.

Install Base - A measure of the number of units of a particular type of system actually in use.

  • Hanselman gives a stat for .Net Framework Installs. He places it over 90% of PCs. with over 65% of PCs having 3.5 SP1. (This was posted on Jan 19, 2010)

    I'm not sure where the numbers come from, but it's the only figure I've seen in quite some time. As for Mono...I'm not sure.
