50 million Apache OpenOffice downloads in a year

"Just a few days after the one year anniversary of the release of the first version of OpenOffice from the Apache Foundation (Apache OpenOffice 3.4) on 8 May 2012, the project can now boast 50 million downloads of the open source office suite. More than 80% of these downloads have come from Windows users, with the rest of the downloads spread between Mac OS X and Linux. Over time, the percentage of Windows users has slightly increased at the expense of Mac OS X, with Linux usage hovering steady under 5%." -- source: http://h-online.com/-1864812 Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Waikato, NZ http://www.cms.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ Ph. +64 (7) 858-5174

I am a LibreOffice user now. I feel that I should worry less of which office has got the more downloads and care more for which has more utility and active development. The link below - comments section, helped me on this regard. http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/03/libreoffice-adoption-s... Cheers!

Being an open-source developer myself, a highly active devevloper community is very important to me. And LibreOffice has exactly that. That made me change to LibreOffice, after being a staunch OpenOffice supporter for many years.
