OpenOffice.org V3.0 Sets Download Record, 80% Windows 451

Posted by timothy from the constant-companion dept.
thefickler writes "The newest version of OpenOffice, version 3.0, has set a download record in its first week of availability. Most surprising is the fact that over 80% of downloads were from Windows users. As one commentator noted, when it comes to a choice between almost identical software (e.g. Microsoft Office and OpenOffice), price is the determining factor."

All these techie blogs... listen, the average Mac consumer is not even reading your blog, gotcha? Yeah, a number of programmers use Macs but the average user is absolutely not into computers. Mac computers are their own niche segment and noone else competes there. Saw those "I am a Mac and I am a PC" ads? The most important message is not that the PC is inferior but that these are separate markets.
