If we are to be positive of these results and have faith that people 
were sincere in their vote and were honest enough not to vote multiple 
times (I believe that most people are honest enough not to do so -- 
besides most polling software will not allow from the same IP twice, 
which give the poll a little bit of validity) -- this is great news!

Just by conducting more of these polls gives LibreOffice more exposure 
and marketing punch as it gets people talking about the pros and cons of 
using our suite. Word of mouth is our best marketing tool.

Nice!
