[Zope] Platform statistics

Hello folks;

I was wondering if there were any sort of statistics available to give an
idea of how many installations of Zope there are running on various
platforms?

My main interest in these facts are my ongoing attempts to run our corporate
Intranet on Zope behind MS IIS.  Though we've been prototyping Zope in a
stand-alone mode for about 6 months our recent attempt to let it play via
IIS & PCGI has been less than spectacular.

The administrator's main contention is that it is open source, unsupported
and my attempt to lock them into a unix-centric platform; something that
will work fine under "unix" but Windows is an after-thought.  (On could take
this basically as a predetermined approach to Zope/open source by said
admin).

What I'd like to find are some stats to do with companies using IIS and
Zope; showing that such a setup isn't a black-sheep. I know that there are
lists of sites that run Zope available, but often they don't show
conclusively what their setup is, depending if Zope is squirreled away
behind a web-server, or it is on an intranet, etc.

Anybody know of the existence of such info?
