Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: About.com Readers' Choice Awards 2013 for Office Software
Hi :) I suspect that the 55% for AOO in business is due to LibreOffice voters not finding an option to vote for Libreoffice. In such cases the votes seem to be split between Google-docs and AOO because they are the 2 suite that are most similar to LibreOffice. Likewise where AOO is not listed i suspect their voters are torn between voting for Google-docs or LibreOffice. When i first voted i was determined to vote everyday but then forgot after the 2nd day. I suspect that AOO is more dedicated to voting because of the early massive lead LibreOffice had. In my opinion LibreOffice and AOO should be offered as 1 single choice because the products are so similar. We don't see the MS Office vote split between the various different bundles or different versions. It would be interesting to see how many in the Academics Section just carried on using whatever came with the machine rather than deliberately going out and getting the Student Edition of MSO. Machines seldom come with LibreOffice/AOO preinstalled so votes for them are from people that have found good reason NOT to stick with whatever they already had on their machine. Votes for MSO are often a vote to just a vote for inability, apathy, ignorance or even fear of their machine. MSO 'should' be winning in the votes because of the percentages of people using it and their resistance to change. The fact it isn't points more to apathy of MS users.

Hi :) Do! My example of the Academic Section was a tad flawed! lol. They do actually have 2 of the bundles for students and academics, they just don't have the 'normal' bundle for a comparison.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: About.com Readers' Choice Awards 2013 for Office Software
Hi :) My guess is that people wanting to vote for AOO or OOo just vote for LO because they are about the same really. However, the reason AOO is missing is that Mac users didn't propose it or register it for the poll. Perhaps they see AOO as being too old now or unfashionable or perhaps they just decided that LibreOffice was close enough.
