While I do not have the statistics, someone mentioned a "Gartner Dataquest report" that said 85% of Mac OS X users were NOT using 10.2. If you find out more please post it here.

More on topic, what is the easiest way to determine backwards compatibility of a app written in 10.2?

I'm trying to find out if anyone has any current (or semi-current)
information on the state of Mac OS X adoption. I'm just wondering what the
breakdown of Mac OS X vs. Mac OS 9 is. Also, a breakdown according to the
version of Mac OS X would be nice (10.0 vs. 10.1 vs. 10.2).

I found this (below) in an old post, but it doesn't seem to be a great
sample. Does anyone have any stats that are better than this?

Thanks!

Mac OS X 10.2 2762 (41,09 %)
Mac OS X 10.1 220 (3,27 %)
Mac OS X 10.0 5 (0,07 %)
Mac OS 9.x 3367 (50,09 %) <--- LD sez: THIS # SEEMS SIGNIFICANT!
Mac OS 8.5/8.6 210 (3,12 %)
Mac OS 8.0/8.1 48 (0,71 %)
Mac OS 7.5/7.6 110 (1,64 %)

It's not perfect, as not everyone is online with his Mac, but it's a
hint.
