All, I have a meeting with IDC next week and this is one of the topics. I'll let everyone know what I find out immediately.
Regards, Andrew Aitken Managing Partner Olliance Group 650-493-3800 www.olliancegroup.com ------------------------ Original Message: From: Anthony Long <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Date: Monday, January 31 2005 04:45 PM Subject: [bizdev] IDC, Gartner, etc. tracking There was a thread in which Andrew Aitken indicated he would check with contacts at research firms regarding tracking of OOo. Have you gotten to this yet? One of the reasons we missed the recent Wired magazine article on open source vs. msft market share is because we didn't have statistics like these. This is high on my priority as a MarCon, and I want to have something resolved by the end of this quarter. Any insight? One thought I had was to ask Forrester or someone to ask their panel about usage etc or to setup a special panel for us. I think because we have no ship data and since we are not a networked application (a la Apache and Firefox) a panel is one of the ways we can go to get "objective data". Any word from the firms, Andrew?
