ameau... I would submit that there is no such thing as a complete list of programs, since freeware and shareware programs appear on a daily basis, in various languages, around the world. It is unlikely anyone has found a way to compile anywhere near a complete list, as the task is Herculean without some central registry through which every program must pass. To my knowledge, this doesn't exist, nor is it likely ever to occur. |

I would also submit that this task would be quite impossible. If anyone can claim to give you a complete list, they are lying. There are many dead projects (ie no longer in development), many projects that are niche and very rarely used, programs that are only used among a small group of people, etc. There are some central repositories for lots of software, including Freshmeat.net, Download.com, Tucows.com, etc, and they would have links to many, many pieces of software, but they would not even begin to scratch the surface of what is actually available in some capacity. |

It sounds like you are trying to find statistics for some type of Report or Paper on the two technologies. If that is true, why not consider narrowing the scope of your search to the number of programs available from a particular chain of stores, or even from a selection of stores in your area. Then you should be able to conduct that research easily on your own accord |

Only google can tell you but there is no way to be accurrate 100% because programs can be easily created. Not to mention many programs that are secret ( as in corporations, governments, banks, et. al.) Wish there was a better answer -- to get close consider visiting download.com but this is really unanswerable. What if I create programs at home but do not tell you or anyone else about it? The program still exists but is not counted... Not too mention all of the hackers who have Trojan Horses. One possible solution is to develop a screensaver that enumerates all the executables on a machine and forwards them to a centralized location. There are tons of legal and privacy barriers to implementing this... |
