"Open source moves into Microsoft's Office block"
This article talks about OpenOffice.org market share estimations:

"While a handful of large organisations have embraced OpenOffice - including Munich's city authorities and some French government agencies - its worldwide market share is estimated at less than 2 per cent."

I don't know where these guys take their numbers from, but I recently (privately) did some semi-professional surveys and got very different results. I won't tell you my numbers here (because I can't without risking legal trouble), but just do the exercise yourself. Ask among your family members, friends and co-workers what office suite they are using at home and at work (obviously, exclude the open source geeks that you know to get more realistic results!). You might surprised about the numbers that you will get. At least I was!
