Market Share Analysis

The goal of this page is to collect and present all kinds of data in an organized way that allows estimating the OpenOffice.org/StarOffice market share. The page tries to analyze the market share of all OpenOffice.org-based products including StarOffice and Novell's Edition of OpenOffice.org. Therefore, does not try to distinguish between different OpenOffice.org flavors and combines numbers where appropriate (e.g. survey numbers).

Another wiki resource that can be used for improving and extending this page is the list of Major OpenOffice.org Deployments.
