Almost precise enough
Figures composed by Webmasterpro web analytics show that
OpenOffice is making a big spash in German.
The outfit said that it examined the distribution of the
most used office packages under German-speaking Internet users. Obviously Microsoft Office was the number one package but
more than a quarter of German outfits used OpenOffice. In a press release Webmasterpro said that it wanted to
provide a statistically significant analysis of the propagation, in
German-speaking Internet users.
It used a new methodology which automatically looked at
the office programs of more than a million Internet users. The following table shows the percentage of Internet
users to a specific package installed Office had:
– Microsoft Office was installed in 72 per cent of
machines.
– OpenOffice.org software including StarOffice, IBM Lotus Symphony,
other derivatives was installed in 21.5 per cent.
– WordPerfect Office only managed 2.7 per cent
– Apple
iWork was laughed off the list at 1.4 per cent.
Only SoftMaker Office and
Koffice were less used at 0.3 per cent each.
