AOO 3.4.0 and beyond do not even have user registration steps during install. So, as you say, we don't have the means to count installs. But we do have many years of data on downloads, including data back to the OpenOffice.org days. Although we cannot equate downloads with installs, knowing the number of downloads, and the trend in that number, is useful information. And this is hardly novel. Microsoft and others reports sales, not installs. -Rob Virgil -Original Message- From: Urmas Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2013 6:07 PM To: users@openoffice.apache.org Subject: Re: 40 million download mark for Apache OpenOffice 3.4.
