href=&quot;http://news.cnet.com/8301-13505_3-10195845-16.html&quot;&gt;OpenOffice
 may have 11 million users in the US&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

 Rathke points out why this may be an undercount&lt;/a&gt;. He listed many 
aspects of the survey&amp;#8217;s methodology that likely exclude more OOo 
users than MSO users. Rathke notes the survey&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;- did not measure usage by pupils under age of 18 
at school and home&lt;br /&gt;
+- did not measure anything on other operating systems like Linux, OpenSolaris, 
MacOSX, &amp;#8230;&lt;br /&gt;
+- did not measure that 100% of all users of Linux and OpenSolaris do not use 
Microsoft Office&lt;br /&gt;
+- did not measure the fair amount of MacOSX users using OpenOffice.org&lt;br 
/&gt;
+- probably wouldn&amp;#8217;t have been able to recruit Linux users anyway, 
because users of Free Software usually care more about 
privacy&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Based on these factors, it does seem fair to say the survey did not 
fully count the US OpenOffice userbase. Maybe in the future we can gather more 
accurate numbers, but for now, at least we know its bottom 
boundary.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

href=&quot;http://www.solidoffice.com/archives/1058&quot;&gt;I noted the 
analysis&lt;/a&gt; concluding that &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://news.cnet.com/8301-13505_3-10195845-16.html&quot;&gt;OpenOffice
 may have 11 million users in the US&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

 Rathke points out why this may be an undercount&lt;/a&gt;. He listed many 
aspects of the survey&amp;#8217;s methodology that likely exclude more OOo 
users than MSO users. Rathke notes the survey&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;- did not measure usage by pupils under age of 18 
at school and home&lt;br /&gt;
+- did not measure anything on other operating systems like Linux, OpenSolaris, 
MacOSX, &amp;#8230;&lt;br /&gt;
+- did not measure that 100% of all users of Linux and OpenSolaris do not use 
Microsoft Office&lt;br /&gt;
+- did not measure the fair amount of MacOSX users using OpenOffice.org&lt;br 
/&gt;
+- probably wouldn&amp;#8217;t have been able to recruit Linux users anyway, 
because users of Free Software usually care more about 
privacy&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Based on these factors, it does seem fair to say the survey did not 
fully count the US OpenOffice userbase. Maybe in the future we can gather more 
accurate numbers, but for now, at least we know its bottom 
boundary.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>
