Why sadly?

I'm talking about the OS use distribution. The truth is Linux is around 2 or 3% max of the users -> sad.


I thought half the point of OOo was to be an alternative to MS Office.


Copy MS Office was maybe not a good idea, but I won't spend more time on the topic (we're not friday ;-) )


The Linux community is the choir that OOo preaches to.


Linux is less than 3% of users, and will probably not grow much.



Speaking of Windows, is MS VC++ 2010 Express sufficient for a build?



I don't use 2010, but 2008 VS.

The main reason is, I don't have the time to fix all the current build issues. I'm contributing to OpenSource in my free time (of course, if somebody wants to hire me at full time, I could think twice ... ;-). Second, I'd like to respect the compatibility with older versions of Windows as long as possible. To tell you more: I do OOo4Kids / OOoLigtht build since more than two years on Windows, and accidentaly did some OpenOffice.org builds too.


Regards,
Eric
