Percentage of sales per platform?

I was wondering what percentages each platform makes up in your total sales. Not asking for sales data, just wondering how Linux fares in comparison to Mac OSX and Windows.

I'm not sure that would work because when you order from the Frictional Games Store you get all three versions.

Is it one download with all versions or do you only download the versions you're gonna use?
If it's the latter it should be trackable (but only after the game is released).
One could also consider average visits from different OS's to the site (would give a general view of who seems to be the most interested group).

Maybe I could expand the question to ask about how each platform worked out for Penumbra?

There is also this.

One thing that did hurt the Mac sales of penumbra was that the Mac version was made available MUCH later than the Linux version..

Developing away on one of
Multiple Macs running 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, and 10.9.
Linux, 8-core AMD, 8GB RAM, Fedora 18, nVidia 450 1GB
