I'd like to double check my logic here. What fraction of our downloads would you expect Linux to be? A niche open source application might see different results than one that had mainstream adoption. That is the expectation. If your appeal is mainly to the open source "insiders" then you will see a higher proportion of Linux downloads. If your user base reflects the overall desktop market, then your downloads will reflect this as well. We've seen, since Apache OpenOffice 3.4.0, that Linux users comprise 1.8% of our downloads. The latest Netcraft survey of Desktop OS usage puts Linux as 1.49%. [1] So, our Linux desktop usage is slightly more than we'd expect, from a widespread adoption perspective, but only slightly. So what am I missing here? Why would anyone expect anything other than the obvious trend, that the most-user operating systems would also be most used by OpenOffice users? -Rob [1] http://www.netmarketshare.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
