Windows Users download Ubuntu

| Today I was downloading Ubuntu 7.10 desktop i386 iso and came across an 
| interesting fact. 
| I was using kTorrent and was delighted to see more than 1400 seeders and 
| around 150 leechers. 
| There were seeders from many countries prominent among them being
| 
|    1. U.S
|    2. U.K
|    3. Germany
|    4. Italy

| Now utorrent is a Windows only client, this makes this observation very 
| interesting. Imagine, the maximum number of Ubuntu peers are actually using 
| some version of Windows :). This indicates the growing awareness of Ubuntu 
| among Windows users.
