Here are updates of the downloads for Apache OpenOffice 4.1.1, now that 4.1.2 is being distributed by the mirror system.
>From Sourceforge, <http://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/files/4.1.1/stats/os?dates=2014-08-01+to+2015-11-08> Just shy of 50,000,000 downloads. This number will be exceeded as older versions will still continue downloading, although at an ever-decreasing rate. 87.7% for Windows 9.0% for Macintosh (0.1% small drop from end of August) 3.3% for everything else, including Linux For the different countries in the same period (53.6 million for all distributions, not just 4.1.1), the breakdown can be found here: <http://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/files/stats/map?dates=2014-08-01+to+2015-11-09>. It is cool that there were 3 to Antartica: 2 for Windows, 1 for Macintosh. - Dennis > -----Original Message----- > From: Dennis E.
