OpenOffice.org released OpenOffice 3.0 which reported 3 Million downloads in the first week itself! Way to go OO!
What’s interesting is, 80 percent of the downloads were on Windows and price being the major driver since OpenOffice is both Free and free. Free as in Open Source and free as in free of cost too.
In today’s economy, I am sure cost would be a major factor which will work in favour of Open Source alternatives.
