Hercules 3.03 was made public on December 20. A week later, nearly 3,000 copies of the software were downloaded by enthusiasts (or maybe just the curious). Because Hercules runs in a number of environments, the Hercules fans didn't all choose the same download. Here is an official tally, by version, of the results during that amazing week. Windows seems to be the winner of this lap.
