It looks to me that org-mode received around 873 votes which is pretty 
good in my book. PortableApps.com, a heavily advertised commercial 
product for Windows, could only muster 3880 votes. I am guessing that 
the percentage of PortableApps.com users who voted for it is much 
smaller than the percentage of org-mode users who voted for org-mode.

The PortableApps.com website claims that 100 million portable apps have 
been downloaded which must mean that the number of users of 
PortableApps.com is huge compared to the number of users of org-mode. 
With no advertising, no money, and a much smaller user base, org-mode 
outperformed PortableApps.com in the voting. Sounds like a victory to me.
