I would predict that at some time in the next 3 to 9 years OOo will
pass M$ Office in total numbers of copies in use. And I suspect that M$
may actually help with this. In many of the things that M$ does they
actually shoot themselves in the foot. They are certainly making
themselves no friends in Europe! Nevertheless, if functions like
integrated e-mail, calendar, project manager, etc. are added it will
greatly speed up use of OOo in large businesses. We may not all need
i'd like to add that this would be a pretty bad decision.
much better would be seamless integration with email, calendar & project
management software.
there are some pretty decent email & calendaring apps, and i've heard
that also some of the project management apps are pretty usable.
cooperating with them (preferably in a common way) would be much better
and would require less resources than rewriting from scratch
applications in some of the most mature application markets (email).
such things, but the more that OOo is accepted in the corporate
environment, the faster it will take over everywhere. Its use of the
now international standard ODF will certainly help, its price will help
more, and its availability in so many languages can't hurt either.
