I'd also be happy to explain how I did something; if that's what you're after..

The video and screenshots were really inspiring, and the project looks awesome.

Do you have anywhere else besides here that we can follow your updates? ;)

Great work man. Loved your youtube videos.

On another note -- Windows 7 is the Leading Operating System as of August of this year :

I would consider it Mainstream. :D

Thanks guys I appreciate the interest/support...

@DualEntity: Thank you. I only post on a bunch of game development forums (updates will be the same as the ones here) but I may start doing progress videos each week until I'm done with the project. Subscribe to my YouTube channel if you haven't already :).

@janequorzar: Thanks. The statistics I'm using are from here; I hope Win7 is more popular that what it says there. W3schools may be biased in some way?

Interesting that they get a different reading, but almost showing same thing.

W3schools shows the Standards in CSS and HTML. Every Website on the planet uses HTML in some way or another. And a lot of them use CSS. ( PHP, ASP, and several other languages, ALL use HTML inside their code ) W3schools makes sure you have your website correct for public usage so that your browser gets no errors during execution of the HTML script. And now with HTML5 out, even Flash is changing.

This means, when you see a particular tag at the top of a web page, its reporting to W3schools. So it would know who is using what based on internet traffic. People do not realize how much info is actually going through search engines and it gets reported back to W3schools as well.

If you want another opinion opinion on OS usage, you can read the statistics on Steam. They are just on Steam gamers, but it's still a good representation for the audience of PC and Mac gamers.
