== Market share ==
Problems arise in estimating the [[market share]] of OpenOffice.org because it could be freely distributed via download sites (including mirror sites), peer-to-peer networks, CDs, Linux distributions and so forth. The project tried to capture key adoption data in a market-share analysis,<ref name=marketshareanalysis>{{cite web |url=http://wiki.openoffice.org/w/index.php?title=Market_Share_Analysis&oldid=170058 |title=OpenOffice.org Market Share Analysis |publisher=Oracle Corporation |date=1 June 2010 |access-date=20 June 2013 |archive-date=4 September 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150904074256/https://wiki.openoffice.org/w/index.php?title=Market_Share_Analysis&oldid=170058 |url-status=live }}</ref> listing known distribution totals, known deployments and conversions and analyst statements and surveys.

A market-share analysis conducted by a [[web analytics]] service in 2010, based on over 200,000 Internet users, showed a wide range of adoption in different countries:<ref>{{cite news |author=Thomas H |title=International OpenOffice market shares |publisher=Webmasterpro.de |date=5 February 2010 |url=http://www.webmasterpro.de/portal/news/2010/02/05/international-openoffice-market-shares.html |access-date=27 May 2012 |archive-date=11 February 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100211120822/http://www.webmasterpro.de/portal/news/2010/02/05/international-openoffice-market-shares.html |url-status=live }}</ref> 0.2% in China, 9% in the US and the UK and over 20% in Poland, the Czech Republic, and Germany.
