Hi :)
It's interesting that there has been almost no posts about articles such
as this one.
https://www.linux.com/news/software/applications/660608-libreoffice-a-continuing-tale-of-foss-success
There are some interesting stats that are very well presented in there and
it's worth using to spread the word of how LibreOffice works.
For me one of the key things that no article seems to mention is that
while many hefty companies are vanishing seemingly overnight it seems
somewhat dangerous to rely on just one. It would be like not making
back-ups of critical information!! If we can bear to think of LO and AOO
as being similar enough that users can migrate from one to the other fairly
easily and thus as being 2 prioducts supported by 1 community then that
community is massive. Taken as being 1 product it is so robust that even
if 1 or 2 companoes the size of IBM or Google (or RedHat or SUSE) were to
simply vanish overnight then there would still be a good product out
there. By sticking with MS people are risking everything they have by
being so heavily dependant on just 1 company and that company is losing
market share to mobile devices. Perhaps Win8 might help them recover the
OS battle but it might not.
