[tdf-discuss] Less organizations use free office suites?
Hi all Just found this post http://www.zdnet.com/office-productivity-software-is-no-closer-to-becoming-a-commodity-722091/ which is based on this Forrester report http://www.forrester.com/Market+Update+Office+2013+And+Productivity+Suite+Alternatives/fulltext/-/E-RES102262 (unfortunately I don't have some pocket money to buy a copy :) ) Shouldn't TDF (and Apache...) be worried about the sharp decrease in free office demand? What changed in 2 years? Are the cloud Offices like Google Docs taking over the niche for free-not-100%-MS-compatible needs?

Shouldn't TDF (and Apache...) be worried about the sharp decrease in free office demand? What changed in 2 years? Was the sample the same? I doubt, so is this really comparable? But yes I think TDF and others should try to counter this kind of reports with e.g. success stories like the adoption of LO by the French Gendamerie etc etc. Just my 0.02€ Werner -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: discuss+unsubscr...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
