 Price of Success&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8221; on his blog, in which he reveals that 
OpenOffice.org is being downloaded at a faster rate than new computers are 
being sold in Italy.&lt;/p&gt;

the fourth) are in the midst of a massive shift toward OpenOffice.org over 
competing office software suites:&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;OpenOffice.org 3.0 has been a huge success, and 
this has raised the awareness of the open source office suite to an 
unprecedented level. In Europe, where OOo was already quite popular, especially 
in France, Germany and Italy, download numbers have reached new records. In 
Italy, they are now higher than the number of new PCs sold in the country, as 
they probably are in France and Germany (although I don’t have PC figures for 
these two countries).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Because of the slippery nature of download statistics as a measure of 
a software program&amp;#8217;s usage share, Vignoli and his team in Italy have 
developed statistical methods to eliminate false data and better estimate the 
true impact OOo is having there.&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Downloads are a key measurement of OpenOffice.org 
success, although they represent a trend and can’t be compared with licenses. 
This means that I am extremely careful in picking numbers when they don’t 
follow a logical trend (i.e., an increase - not a jump - after the announcement 
of each new version, and then a slow decrease)&amp;#8230; Most of the time, we 
ignore the numbers that we don’t trust, even if this means that we ignore 
several &amp;#8220;real&amp;#8221; downloads.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Even so, generally accepted knowledge indicates the number of OOo 
users exceeds the number of measured downloads, due to distribution through 
other methods like peer-to-peer networks, CDs, flash media (thumb or key 
drives), and others.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

href=&quot;http://www.italovignoli.org/2009/02/the-price-of-success/&quot;&gt;The
 Price of Success&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8221; on his blog, in which he reveals that 
OpenOffice.org is being downloaded at a faster rate than new computers are 
being sold in Italy.&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;He suspects the same is true in Germany and France, and if Vignoli is 
correct, than three out of the four biggest national economies in the EU (UK is 
the fourth) are in the midst of a massive shift toward OpenOffice.org over 
competing office software suites:&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;OpenOffice.org 3.0 has been a huge success, and 
this has raised the awareness of the open source office suite to an 
unprecedented level. In Europe, where OOo was already quite popular, especially 
in France, Germany and Italy, download numbers have reached new records. In 
Italy, they are now higher than the number of new PCs sold in the country, as 
they probably are in France and Germany (although I don’t have PC figures for 
these two countries).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Because of the slippery nature of download statistics as a measure of 
a software program&amp;#8217;s usage share, Vignoli and his team in Italy have 
developed statistical methods to eliminate false data and better estimate the 
true impact OOo is having there.&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Downloads are a key measurement of OpenOffice.org 
success, although they represent a trend and can’t be compared with licenses. 
This means that I am extremely careful in picking numbers when they don’t 
follow a logical trend (i.e., an increase - not a jump - after the announcement 
of each new version, and then a slow decrease)&amp;#8230; Most of the time, we 
ignore the numbers that we don’t trust, even if this means that we ignore 
several &amp;#8220;real&amp;#8221; downloads.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Even so, generally accepted knowledge indicates the number of OOo 
users exceeds the number of measured downloads, due to distribution through 
other methods like peer-to-peer networks, CDs, flash media (thumb or key 
drives), and others.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>
