The thing that makes me say that a lot of people don't even realize this software is installed is due to two main scenarios:

1. When downloading other software, I have seen several instances where the Google toolbar is bundled, and you have to go into an advanced menu to de-select it. 2. Many OEMs are now shipping computers to people with the Google Toolbar installed.

I believe these two cases account for a large number of the installs. Possibly even greater than the number of users who intentionally go out and download it, but more likely in the 30% range of new installs.

Of course, I have no real numbers on this, and so it is pretty much a guess.
