-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi there, according to a survey by OSS watch[1], the use of OOo in UK's higher education declined from 38% to 23% and in further education from 24% to 23% (Table 26 following).
Not to good a result for OOo and also kind of surprising. One should keep in mind: "The survey was completed by more people: in 2003, responses (from those replying on behalf on their institution) were obtained from only 6% of UK HE and FE institutions; in 2006, a reply from 18% of institutions was obtained. Whenever possible, comparisons have been made with the results of the 2003 survey. However caution has to be adopted in doing this since the roles and responsibilities of those who answered the 2003 survey are not equivalent." May be the replies in 2003 were mostly by the hard core believers and OOo fans. In 2006 the discussion had widened and more institutions took the time to answer. Thought you'd like to know.
