Are there any estimates for Debian?

FYI, we had more than 1.2 million web servers (yeah, just web servers)
running Debian[0] in 2005.

If you add Debian web servers not publishing this information, others
servers (2 * 1.2, at least?), desktops, embedded and others (3 * 1.2
?) we've much more than 7.2 million installations running now. Just a
guess of course, but i think the exact number is around 10 million.
