Hi :)  
My guess is that people wanting to vote for AOO or OOo just vote for LO because they are about the 
same really.  

However, the reason AOO is missing is that Mac users didn't propose it or register it for the poll. 
 Perhaps they see AOO as being too old now or unfashionable or perhaps they just decided that 
LibreOffice was close enough.  
Regards from
Tom :)

AOO is not on the list for Macs, so the 74% figure is meaningless. You
point out when  LibreOffice is not listed but do not point out when AOO is
not listed.  Phui.
As far as I believe that AOO and LO should not compete against each other, but
try to take some users away from Microsoft Office instead, I also understand
Marc -- this is *LibreOffice* mailing list. It is natural that he points out
absence of LibreOffice, while absence of Apache OpenOffice is irrelevant at the
moment.

The absence of Apache OpenOffice is not irrelevant. It make the poll meaningless. LibreOffice is 
not actually used by 74% of the Mac users taking the survey when you have left out Apache 
OpenOffice from the survey, as well as Nissus, Scrivener, and others.

It is like conducting a survey about the favourite cola drink and leaving Coca-Cola off the list.
