Depends on what you consider a "machine."

We have:

 2 laptops
 2 desktops
 1 server (being replaced with one of the desktops - it's an older 32-bit 
system)
 1 PS3
 2 Android phones
 1 Android tablet
 2 Android-based eReaders

Oh, and an old desktop that's headed to the recyclers. :)

The RPi is probably going to end up being a media server - I can't stream 
Spotify to the Playstation, and the RPi with Mopity can stream it to the 
stereo without turning the projector on. :)  But it'll also be used to 
play videos without using the PS3 as a DLNA client, freeing up some 
memory on the desktop that hosts the DLNA server, as the transcoding 
engines have been giving me some trouble lately. :)

I guess we're at 11 if you count the Android devices.  That doesn't count 
virtual machines that I use regularly, either. :)
