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. > > > Yesterday we reached the 40 million download mark for Apache OpenOffice >> 3.4. >> > > Note how the most useless stat was selected. > > No one is going to make what is really matter public, like (the number of > new installations – the number of removals). > > > > --**--**- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > users-unsubscribe@openoffice.**apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: > users-help@openoffice.apache.**org > > > --**--**- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > users-unsubscribe@openoffice.**apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: > users-help@openoffice.apache.**org > >

Downloads are easy to measure. Installations and removals aren't.

Think about it. If the users of open office were given a tax credit for contributions to open source software and 10% of them gave $10, AOO could have raised forty million.

Re: 40 million download mark for Apache OpenOffice 3.4.
