Where did you get these numbers? I doubt them very much. Windows has about 85% of the desktop market. OOo has a tiny portion of the Windows market, and a hugely dominant portion of the Linux market. It doesn't seem possible that 80% of our users be on Windows.

As Andre pointed out, those are the stats for OOo *website*, so we know for sure ~80% of the website *visitors* are on Windows. And of course, this is not directly related to the percentage of users but shows a trend. It can be argued the Linux users don't have the same need for the website because they 1) get OOo form other location 2) ask for help in another location.

But in the end, the percentage is not relevant at all, the point was: do not present Sun's JRE as the *only* solution because there are alternatives (even IBM JRE) or it may be not needed in the first place.
