I think the really interesting number would be a ratio of actively used/total shipped

Do you really want to break the heart of ADT shareholders? 😉

What 30%-50% wants to migrate to that?

I was saying that ArchiCAD is (and will keep on being) a niche product in the BIM/Virtual Building market. Because the BIM/VB market is growing from say 0.5% of CAD users until very recently to say 30 or 50% in the foreseeable future, Graphisoft is happily positioned as a niche product in an expanding market. Their share can only grow --say 2 or 3% of the cad market would represent a huge growth and loads of cash for R&D and Budapest parties relative to what they have now. The world has enough room for Apples and Microsofts, ArchiCADs and Revits.
