Has the Irresistible Rise of OpenOffice.org Begun?

,----[ Quote ]
| What's interesting about these figures â
| particularly the high numbers in certain
| countries â is that it takes OpenOffice.org
| into the same kind of market-share territory
| that Firefox occupied a few years back. Which
| raises two interesting questions. First, are
| we seeing the start of the same kind of
| growth trajectory, and secondly, how can the
| open source community help propel it along
| that graph more rapidly?
