Hi Andrew,
>I have some associates at the analyst firms like IDC and Giga, I don't know that they're tracking OOo vs. the others but they might be. I'd >be happy to check, Louis, if you think that might be interesting. Would you please? We always do think of this and do constantly wonder exactly who our users are--and how many. We have debated solutions as Adam hinted--widgets that call home upon downloading--but we have not, for no compelling reasons, implemented them. (rant/ Once, we thought they would be read as hostile to the freedom of OSS. I don't think so; or if so, that's a poor understanding of the OSS "freedom." And do people complain about it when they are sent to Mozilla's pages? /rant) What would be interesting is to do random surveys, perhaps, of retail stores where MS O is sold and see if there is a decline in purchases around the time of a major/minor release. Survey companies could also do standard telephone/web surveys from logical sites, if that is reasonable. > >Regards, > > >Andrew Aitken >Managing Partner >Olliance Group >650-493-3800 >www.olliancegroup.com > Best, Louis --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
