​You know... ChromeOS is sort of important. ChromeOS "apps" are basically
the same as Chrome "apps", so I'd say their market share is more like...
34-46% theoretically (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers)
It isn't a fair comparison, as the software is available in some other
forms where the Chrome browser is available, but it could be an incentive :)

​It works more or less like in windows 7. No "metro" support, so you're
back to the plain windows look (with all of the drawbacks of W8, but that's
not the place to discuss this...).

​That's a good summary so far. Note that LO peoples are working on Android,
although it's not at the "beta" status yet (
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/LibreOffice_on_Android).
But I can vouch for a *viewer* that would handle correctly files. It might
be easier to do (less UI work, no edition code maybe). It would be a great
step toward general adoption of opendocument format. But, again, I'm
starting to digress.
