Only 64,144 of the 141,625 actually have *files* to download.

About Windows open source projects, it's actually 921 on CodePlex as
of today, plus thousands more at gotdotnet.com (3339), codeproject.com
(14'991), codeguru.com (4332). Last but not least 21134 of those
SourceForge projects are Windows projects, so that's 44'717 (at least)
at last count, vs 43'010 non-Windows projects on SF.
