Thanks! It's very interesting to see which regions are growing.
Any word on Norway? I notice that it is not listed on the pdf, it is
one of the countries that has been pushing to get back to Open Source
and has noticeably required use of Open Standards. OpenDocument Format
is named specifically and that should help OOo adoption.

Also, in Finland, JHS 169 requires that the public sector be *using*
open source software. So the figures should be favorable there, too,
even in spite of many aggressive counter-measures from M$ affiliates and
boosters.

Yes, it is a 'recommendation', but in that context it is a rule.

Howdy Lars,
Same deal with Norway and Finland as Japan - I don't know why it wasn't
broken out in the study.
Again, if there is anyone with a contact at webmasterpro.de it would be
interesting to find out if they have more/newer data. I suppose if I
don't hear anything from anyone here in a few days I will just send an
email myself.
Best wishes,
Drew
ps - regarding Government mandates...ask me about ADA sometime...*evil grin*
