Umm. no, there is absolutly no way of knowing how many people download and install plus!. Ok lets say Clicks on the download button. No, I myself have downloaded and install plus on numerous systems, I'm only one person. and, I myself have re-installed plus on my machines too, along with upgrades and such. Ok now lets say Unique IP adresses. Did you know all of AOL has the same IP? And did you know my ISP changes every clients IP every 3 or so days? And did you know my ISP is the most popular ISP in my area. What else you got?
Exact figures (correct till one unique download/install) are of course not known. But take all those "double" installs away, and you still are left with millions... FYI, downloads and also installs CAN be known.

How do you know that? Do you monitor the Plus! server? I think not...

The point is people really read pop-ups, they want to know if somethings really wrong.
So, now you're saying they read stuff?
c00ly, let it be, everything so far discussed, suggested or even slithly touched in this thread has been extensivly covered before. If you want to know more about why your suggestions aren't good or how things work, then please do search the forums. If you don't wanna change your opinion, then that's absolutely and perfectly fine, but don't continue in this circular debate because nothing new will be said and nothing new will be replied.
If you do happen to have a proper solution (eg: a bussiness contract, or a sponsor which pays for the servers, hosting, income, etc...) then let it know, but until you don't have physical and concrete stuff like that please let it be....
