For what it's worth, Windows 7 no longer ships a telnet client by default (or if it does, it's not in the system's PATH), so if Windows' default applications are in any way a culprit to telnet's popularity the issue will soon be resolved as Windows 7 (and potentially 8 soon) are rapidly gaining marketshare over XP.

It may not be available in the default install but it's still an optional 'Windows component' that can be installed from the control panel--and, I assure you, anyone who's been using telnet on XP will do this long before they download a third party ssh client from the internet. The problem won't be solved until MS ships a ssh client on the windows install disc.
