Congratulations people! We're way out ahead of the other CMSs out there right now in the .edu domain space. This is great news for all of us who build sites in higher education! Keep up the great work everyone and make sure to spread the word! If trends are anything like I've witnessed @ Penn State, adoption from distributions is about to ramp up dramatically in the coming months / years.

I think you might find a different distribution of CMSs used outside of the top-level edu domain but still, great news for Drupal.

Their sample size is from the top 1 million websites (according to Alexa). Not sure how many .edu sites make up the top million according to alexa, but that would make for some interesting bit of digging.
